Ham and Cheese Pinwheels
Report
Ham and Cheese Pinwheels combine flaky crescent roll dough with a savory spread of mayonnaise, mustard, and horseradish, layered with deli ham and shredded cheddar cheese. Rolled and sliced into bite-sized rounds, then baked to a golden brown, these pinwheels have a tender yet slightly crisp texture. They work well as a snack, appetizer, or part of a casual meal, especially when paired with dips like ranch dressing.
Description
The Ham and Cheese Pinwheels recipe starts with layering a mixture of mayonnaise, yellow mustard, and an optional kick of prepared horseradish evenly over crescent roll dough, which is pressed to seal the perforations. Thin slices of deli ham and shredded cheddar cheese cover the spread before the dough is rolled up tightly into a log. Chilled briefly to firm up, the rolled dough is sliced into half-inch pinwheels and baked until golden brown in a moderate oven. The finished pinwheels feature a soft, buttery crust that yields to the flavorful, cheesy ham filling. They are easy to serve warm or at room temperature and are enhanced by dipping sauces like ranch.

Ingredients
- 8 ounce crescent rolls package, Pillsbury brand
- 1 Tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- prepared horseradish my kids couldn't tell this was in there but it gives it a kick of flavor, optional, 1/2 teaspoon
- 6 ounces ham sliced deli
- 1 1/2 /2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray.
- Unroll crescent dough onto cookie sheet and press the perforations together to seal them.
- In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, mustard, and horseradish. Brush over crescent dough in an even layer.
- Layer the ham on top evenly.
- Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly on top.
- Beginning with the longest edge, roll up the filling and dough.
- Slice with a sharp knife into 1/2 inch slices. For even easier cutting, place the roll in the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm up before slicing.
- Place slices on the cookie sheet and bake for 10-14 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool for a minute then enjoy. My kids liked dipping their pinwheels in ranch!
Notes
- Sealing the perforations in the crescent roll dough prevents filling leakage during baking.
- Chilling the rolled log before slicing helps achieve clean pinwheel slices without squashing.
- Try serving with ranch or other favorite dips for added flavor contrast.
