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.

HAM PINWHEELS



Ham Pinwheels image

This is my mom's recipe and it's always a hit at parties and get-togethers. Even the kids love will love these pinwheels!

Provided by Mystia

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 30m

Yield 64 pinwheels, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (8 ounce) brick cream cheese (softened)
16 ounces sour cream
1 (1 ounce) packet packet Hidden Valley Ranch dip (dry)
1 lb deli ham, sliced thin but not shaved (not honey ham!)
1 (14 ounce) package azteca flour tortillas (8 large ones per pack, in the refrigerator section)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese, sour cream and dry ranch dip mix.
  • Beat until no lumps remain.
  • Put a very thin layer of the cheese mixture on a tortilla, being sure not to go all the way to the edge.
  • Place slices of ham on top (I always put one piece in the middle and then cut other pieces to fit around the edges), again being careful not to go all the way to the edge.
  • Start tightly rolling the tortilla. Try to keep everything inside so the cheese mixture and ham don't come out.
  • Roll up tightly in plastic wrap and place in the fridge or freezer.
  • Repeat steps 3 through 7 until you run out of ingredients.
  • When you're ready to serve, cut the long rolls into small, round pinwheels. I was able to get 8 good pinwheels per long roll (the endpieces are fine to nibble on but they don't make a pretty presentation). If you freeze the rolls for a little while rather than refrigerate them, it makes cutting easier and presentation nicer. I didn't freeze the ones in my picture, so they were messy and misshapen but still very yummy! ENJOY!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your pinwheels taste better. Look for high-quality ham, cheese, and bread.
  • Don't overfill the pinwheels: If you put too much filling in them, they'll be difficult to roll up and will likely fall apart.
  • Chill the pinwheels before slicing: This will help them hold their shape and make them easier to slice.
  • Use a variety of fillings: Don't just stick to ham and cheese. Try different combinations, such as turkey and avocado, roast beef and horseradish, or chicken and pesto.
  • Get creative with your presentation: Serve the pinwheels on a platter with a variety of dipping sauces, or arrange them in a fun design.

Conclusion:

Ham and cheese 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 ham and cheese. With a little creativity, you can make pinwheels that are both beautiful and tasty. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give ham and cheese pinwheels a try. You won't be disappointed!
