Exploding Intestines (Brunch braid)

1 pkg frozen puff pastry
1 cube butter, softened
1 packet ranch dressing mix (Hidden Valley)
1/4 lb. deli ham, thinly sliced
1 c. cheddar cheese, shredded
1 egg, beaten

Thaw puff pastry according to package's directions.
Preheat oven to 375 and line a 9x13 pan with parchment paper (or just grease it really well).
Divide each sheet of pastry lengthwise into two strips.  Pinch together seams to make one long strip of pastry.
Mix butter and dry ranch dressing mix, lightly spread over pastry.  Place ham down center of the strip then sprinkle with cheese.
Pinch the entire length of the dough closed creating a long tube, stretch the dough slightly around the filling as you go.  Carefully lift 'intestine' into pan forming an intestine-like pattern.  Brush pastry with beaten egg.
Bake 20-30 minutes, until golden brown.
