Tips:

  • Use high-quality blue cheese for the best flavor. A sharp or extra-sharp blue cheese will give the pinwheels a more pronounced flavor.
  • If you don't have any fresh cranberries, you can use dried cranberries instead. Just be sure to soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before using them, so they're plump and juicy.
  • If you don't have any walnuts, you can use another type of nut, such as pecans or almonds. Just be sure to chop them finely so they don't overpower the other ingredients.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before using it. This will make it easier to spread and will help the pinwheels hold together better.
  • Roll the pinwheels tightly so they don't fall apart when you slice them.
  • Bake the pinwheels until they're golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve the pinwheels warm or at room temperature. They're also great as a make-ahead appetizer - just store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days before serving.

Conclusion:

Blue cheese, cranberry, and walnut pinwheels are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They're also a great way to use up leftover blue cheese and cranberries. With their creamy, tangy, and nutty flavor, these pinwheels are sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give these blue cheese, cranberry, and walnut pinwheels a try. You won't be disappointed!
