- 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 400°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick aluminum foil.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, for 8 to 10 minutes or until mushrooms release moisture and begin to brown. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Roll out puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to smooth any creases. Spread mushroom mixture evenly over pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch border around edges.
Sprinkle Parmesan and mozzarella evenly over mushrooms. Lay slices of salami or prosciutto over cheese.
Roll puff pastry into a tight log, seam side down. Slice log into 1/2-inch-thick pinwheels and arrange on prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each piece.
