VEGGIE PINWHEEL APPETIZERS
My son, Tyler, loves these and even asked me to make them for his school party instead of cupcakes! Now his classmates love them, too, and I make them for every party. To keep it easy, I usually get the veggies from the grocery store's salad bar. -Beverly M. Jones, Cambridge, Maryland

PINWHEEL APPETIZERS
I love to have little "noshy" things to pick up and snack on at parties so I made these for my nephew's Annual Oktoberfest party this weekend. I made almost 90 of these and came home with 8. I am sure there are others who make them, but in case someone doesn't have the recipe, here is my recipe with a German twist.

Steps:
- 1. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the chosen seasoning (Mustard, salsa, teriyaki, etc) Until well mixed and spreadable. (For the beef rollups, mix the Bavarian seasoning into the cream cheese mixture. And for veggie version, add the softened goat cheese to the cream cheese spread))
- 2. To make the rolls, place your flour tortilla on the work surface, spread with about 1/4 to 1/5 of the cream cheese mixture. Then proceed as for individual types below.
- 3. For Ham, layer thin slices of ham on top of the cream cheese, making sure to bring ham almost to the edge all around. Place one or two pickle spears crosswise on the lower third of the beef covered tortilla (you may have to cut the spears lengthwise if they are large). Roll tortilla as tightly as possible, and wrap tightly in plastic wrap, Refrigerate til cream cheese has rehardened.
- 4. For Beef, sprinkle a thin layer of chopped peppers, and shredded swiss on the cream cheese layer, place deli sliced beef or corned beef in a layer over the cheese and sprinkle on a thin layer of sauerkraut. Roll tortilla as tightly as possible, and wrap tightly in plastic wrap, Refrigerate til cream cheese has rehardened.
- 5. For Veggies, Finely chop the veggies of your choice, place them in a small bowl and toss with the seasoned salt. Let sit for about 10 minutes, then drain off accumulated liquid and squeeze out as much as possible. Sprinkle veggies and your choice of shredded cheese over the tortilla. Roll tortilla as tightly as possible, and wrap tightly in plastic wrap, Refrigerate til cream cheese has rehardened.
- 6. Before serving, unwrap the pinwheel rolls and cut into 1/2 inch thick rounds. Place on platter and serve.
- 7. I have seen these made up as sweet pinwheels using powdered sugar or brown sugar in the cream cheese spread and adding things like drained crushed pineapple or fruit preserves. I have not tried it, but it looked good.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the pinwheels will taste. Use ripe vegetables, herbs, and cheese.
- Use a variety of fillings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different fillings. Some popular options include ham and cheese, turkey and cream cheese, and vegetables and hummus.
- Make sure the fillings are spread evenly: This will help to ensure that each pinwheel has a consistent flavor and texture.
- Roll the pinwheels tightly: This will help to keep the fillings from falling out.
- Chill the pinwheels before serving: This will help them to firm up and make them easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Pinwheel appetizers are a delicious and easy-to-make party food. They can be made with a variety of fillings, so there is sure to be a recipe that everyone will enjoy. With a little planning and preparation, you can create beautiful and tasty pinwheels that will impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give pinwheels a try.
