Ham and Cheese Pinwheels

Ham and Cheese Pinwheels are made with cream cheese, sliced deli ham, and cheese and make a quick and easy snack or appetizer. These baked puff pastry roll-ups are perfect for any occasion and a crowd pleaser every time I make them!

📝 Ingredients

• 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (about 8.5 oz, thawed)
• 8 oz cream cheese
• 1 Tbsp mustard
• 6 oz ham (chopped)
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
• 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Combine cream cheese, mustard, chopped ham, shredded cheese, and pepper.
2. 2On a lightly floured piece of parchment paper, roll out the puff pastry into a 10×12-inch rectangle. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over top, leaving a 1/4-inch border on both long ends.
3. 3Starting at a long end, roll the puff pastry into a tight log using the parchment as leverage. Press the edges together to seal. Wrap the log in plastic wrap, and refrigerate it, seam side down, for 15-30 minutes.
4. 4Preheat the oven to 375˚F with racks in the upper and lower thirds. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
5. 5Using a sharp knife, cut the puff pastry log into 1/2 inch slices. Arrange the rolls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 1-2 inches apart.
6. 6Bake until golden brown, rotating and switching the pans halfway through, about 20-25 minutes. Let cool slightly. Serve warm.
