Cheddar Chorizo Pinwheel Bites
Cheddar Chorizo Pinwheel Bites feature spicy chorizo and sharp cheddar cheese wrapped inside flaky puff pastry, sliced into rounds, and baked until golden. Accompanied by a simple garlic mayo dip, these snack-sized bites combine savory meat with the richness of cheese, making them ideal for appetizers or party servings. The honey drizzle adds a subtle sweetness that balances the heat of the chorizo.
Ingredients
- 1 puff pastry package of
- 1 cup cheddar cheese sharp, grated
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 chorizo sausages about 1 lb. total, spicy, links
- parsley to garnish
- paprika to garnish
Garlic mayo dip:
- ¼ cup mayonnaise real
- 1 garlic small clove
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- black pepper a pinch
- sea salt a pinch
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Line an 11x13 inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Working with one piece at a time, roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until it is just larger than the chorizo. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the cheese down the center lengthwise and then drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon of the honey. Top with one chorizo sausage and then roll tightly. Seal the seam with a little water then twist the ends shut. Repeat with the other puff pastry.
- Slice each roll into 10 equal slices and place the rounds on the lined baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and lightly browned.
- While the chorizo pinwheels are baking, prepare the garlic mayo dip by mixing all the ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Serve the pinwheels topped with a little sprinkle of paprika and some parsley.
Notes
- Prepare the pinwheels up to one day in advance and store covered in the refrigerator before baking.
- Seal the pastry seams with water to keep the filling secure during baking.
- Serve with garlic mayo dip freshly mixed for optimal flavor contrast.
