Ham and Cheese Pinwheels are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are made by rolling out puff pastry dough, spreading it with a layer of mustard or cream cheese, and then topping it with sliced ham and cheese.
The dough is then rolled up into a log, sliced into rounds, and baked until golden and crispy.
The result is a flaky, savory treat that is perfect for parties or as a quick and tasty snack.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 tube crescent dough sheet
- 20 – 22 slices Black Forest Ham thinly sliced
- 12 slices swiss cheese thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1 Tbsp. poppy seeds
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
INSTRUCTIONS:
PREHEAT OVEN TO 350ºF AND SPRAY A 9X13 INCH BAKING DISH WITH COOKING SPRAY, OR GREASE WITH BUTTER.
Open the tube of crescent dough and unroll with the longest side of the dough at the bottom (rectangle). Pinch the seams closed and lightly press out the dough a bit thinner, approx. 10 x 13.
Lay 6 slices of swiss cheese on the dough, leaving a 1/4 inch margin at the edges.
Top with the ham (fold the slices over if needed) and then lay down the rest of the cheese slices on top of the ham.
Start rolling up the dough with the contents inside, starting with the longest side. Roll as tightly as possible. Pinch the ends closed.
Cut into 18 pieces.
Carefully put the rollups in the dish, evenly spaced, being sure to pinch any seams that may have separated.
In a bowl, mix together the butter, poppy seeds, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.
Pour the sauce evenly over the rolls.
Bake, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes until browned.
Remove after cooking time and let cool slightly before removing from the dish.
