Ham and Cheese Pinwheels Recipe
Hey there, lovely readers! Today, I’m excited to share with you one of my all-time favorite recipes – Ham and Cheese Pinwheels. These delightful little treats are perfect for any occasion, from family gatherings to cozy nights in. Let’s dive into the delicious world of homemade pinwheels!
Ingredients You’ll Need:
For these scrumptious pinwheels, you’ll need the following ingredients:
– 1 sheet of puff pastry
– 8 slices of ham
– 8 slices of Swiss cheese
– 1/4 cup of Dijon mustard
– 1/4 cup of honey
– 1 egg (beaten)
– Salt and pepper to taste
Now that we have our ingredients ready, it’s time to start creating these mouthwatering pinwheels.
Let’s Get Cooking:
First, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the puff pastry sheet on a flat surface and spread the Dijon mustard evenly over the entire surface.
Next, layer the ham slices on top of the mustard, followed by the Swiss cheese slices. Drizzle the honey over the cheese and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Starting from one end, tightly roll the puff pastry into a log. Brush the beaten egg along the edge to seal the roll. Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 8 equal slices.
Place the pinwheels on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with the remaining egg wash. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.
Tips for Perfect Pinwheels:
For an extra flavor boost, you can sprinkle some poppy seeds or sesame seeds on top of the pinwheels before baking. These little seeds add a lovely crunch and nuttiness to the final product.
If you’re feeling adventurous, you can experiment with different types of cheese and deli meats. Cheddar and turkey, mozzarella and pepperoni, the possibilities are endless!
Don’t overfill your pinwheels, as this can make them difficult to roll and may result in the filling oozing out during baking. Keep the layers thin and even for the perfect pinwheel every time.
Enjoy these Ham and Cheese Pinwheels warm from the oven as a delightful appetizer or snack. They also make a great addition to any brunch spread or party platter. I hope you love making and sharing these pinwheels as much as I do!
