Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Wraps and Rolls

Time 1h30m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ¼ cups brown sugar
⅓ cup unsalted butter
2 teaspoons minced garlic
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
salt to taste
1 pound dried apricots, chopped
½ cup rum
1 (17.3 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed
¼ cup finely chopped walnuts
½ pound prosciutto
1 (8 ounce) ball mozzarella
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat a skillet over low heat. Add brown sugar, butter, garlic, pepper flakes, and salt; stir to combine and cook until bubbling and sugar has dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in apricots and cook until soft and plumped, about 5 minutes. Add rum; continue to cook and stir until liquid has reduced and a thick syrup has formed, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set compote aside to cool, about 15 minutes.
  • Roll pastry on a floured surface into 2 equal rectangles. Transfer each rectangle onto a sheet of parchment paper. Spread cooled compote onto each rectangle and sprinkle with walnuts. Arrange prosciutto over top, covering compote completely. Roll up each rectangle like a jelly roll, sealing the edge with a dab of water, if needed. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Remove pastry rolls from the refrigerator and slice each into 18 slices. Place slices, cut-sides down, on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is puffed and golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn on the broiler.
  • While pastries are cooling slightly, cut mozzarella into 18 slices. Top each pastry with a mozzarella round.
  • Broil until cheese bubbles, about 2 minutes. Serve warm with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar over top.

  • Roll the pinwheels tightly. This will help keep them from falling apart when you bake them.
  • If the pinwheels are too long, you can cut them in half or thirds. This will make them easier to eat.
