Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield Twenty-eight to thirty-eight slices

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound fresh mozzarella, diced
1 cup milk
6 ounces smoked salmon, very thinly sliced
30 large basil leaves

Steps:

  • Cover a 10-by-15-inch baking sheet with 2 large pieces of plastic wrap. Set aside.
  • Combine the mozzarella and milk in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cook slowly, stirring with a wooden spoon, over medium-low heat until the mozzarella melts, 10 to 15 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the mozzarella from the milk, placing it directly on the prepared baking sheet. Using your hands and a spoon, spread the mozzarella quickly into a 10-by-15-inch rectangle. Smooth over any holes or tears.
  • Lay 10 of the basil leaves on the mozzarella and cover with the salmon in a single layer. Top with 10 more basil leaves.
  • Lift the long side of the mozzarella and roll it into a compact jellyroll. Wrap tightly in the plastic and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • To serve, cut the mozzarella crosswise into 1/2-inch slices and arrange on a serving platter. Trim with remaining basil leaves.

I'm not a fan of basil, so I used parsley instead. The pinwheels still turned out delicious!

I had some trouble getting the pinwheels to stay closed. They kept unrolling in the oven.

This dish was a little too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less mozzarella.
