It's no wonder my husband adores these pinwheels. I got the original recipe from his mother. They taste great warm or cold and freeze well in plastic bags.

I used a different type of cheese in these pinwheels and they turned out great! I think you could really experiment with different flavors.

These pinwheels were a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise they were very good. I think next time I'll use less bacon or maybe a different type of cheese.

These bacon cheese pinwheel rolls were so easy to make and they turned out perfectly. The filling was creamy and flavorful, and the bacon added a nice smoky flavor. I will definitely be making these again!
