HAM AND CHEESE PINWHEELS



Ham and Cheese Pinwheels image

Ham and Cheese Pinwheels with Puff Pastry. Just FOUR ingredients! Everyone loves this easy, delicious appetizer. Freezer friendly.

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Appetizer

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 sheets frozen puff pastry (thawed overnight in the refrigerator)
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard (divided)
12 slices thinly-sliced, good-quality deli ham (about 10 ounces)
2 cups freshly grated gruyere (Swiss, fontina, sharp cheddar, or similar melty cheese (about 5 ounces))
Chopped fresh parsley (thyme, or chives (optional, for serving))

Steps:

  • Lay a large piece of plastic wrap on your counter (I pressed two long sheets together at the edges to create a single larger sheet). Unfold the first sheet of puff pastry in the center of the plastic, then roll it into a 10x12-inch rectangle. Spread with 1 1/2 tablespoons mustard, leaving a 1/2-inch border on all sides. Lay 6 ham slices on top, overlapping as needed. Sprinkle with 1 cup cheese.
  • Starting at the long (12-inch) edge, roll the puff pastry into a log. Trim the ends so that they are even, then tightly wrap the log with the plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry and remaining mustard, ham, and cheese. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Once the log has chilled, using a sharp, serrated knife, carefully cut each log into 1/2-inch-wide slices. (If each log is 12 inches, you will get 24 rolls from each one). Arrange the rolls 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until the puff pastry is light golden brown and the cheese is hot and bubbly, about 18 minutes. Immediately sprinkle with chopped thyme, parsley, or chives as desired. Let cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to cut the bread into thin slices. This will help the pinwheels roll up neatly.
  • If the bread is too dry, you can lightly brush it with water before rolling. This will help the bread stick together.
  • Be generous with the fillings. The more fillings you use, the more flavorful the pinwheels will be.
  • If you are using a spreadable cheese, such as cream cheese or goat cheese, be sure to spread it evenly over the bread. This will help prevent the cheese from clumping up.
  • Roll the pinwheels up tightly. This will help them hold their shape when they are baked.
  • Bake the pinwheels until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Let the pinwheels cool slightly before slicing and serving. This will help them hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Ham and cheese pinwheels are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or anytime you need a quick and satisfying bite. With a variety of fillings to choose from, you can customize the pinwheels to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a tasty and versatile snack, give ham and cheese pinwheels a try.
