Ham and Cheese Pinwheels
Description
This recipe begins by rolling out a sheet of puff pastry as a base. Layers of deli ham and gouda cheese are evenly arranged on top before the pastry is rolled lengthwise into a log. The log is then sliced into approximately 15 pinwheels. Brushing the pinwheels with melted butter mixed with chopped parsley adds flavor and promotes browning.
Once baked at 200°C (390°F) for about 20 minutes, the pinwheels develop a crisp, golden exterior with tender, melted cheese and ham inside. The flaky texture of puff pastry enhances the snack’s appeal, making it well-suited for parties or as appetizers.
Leftover ham or substitutions like turkey or chicken slices can be used as alternatives, provided they are sliced thinly for easy rolling.
Ingredients
- 1 puff pastry ready-rolled
- 8 lices gouda cheese
- 8 lices ham deli
- 3 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped
Instructions
- Roll the puff pastry on the work surface.
- Arrange the ham slices, then the cheese slices on top.
- Roll into a big sausage lenghtwise, then cut into 15 pinwheels
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Melt the butter and add the chopped parsley to it, then brush each pinwheel with the mixture.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until golden.
Notes
- Thinly sliced deli ham or leftovers work well for easy rolling in the pastry.
- Turkey or chicken slices can replace ham if preferred.
- Brush with parsley butter immediately before baking to achieve a golden, flavorful crust.
