🧁 What Are Ham and Cheese Puff Pastry Pinwheels?
Puff pastry pinwheels are made by spreading a seasoned cheese mixture over store-bought or homemade puff pastry, adding thin slices of deli ham (or turkey), then rolling it up like a jelly roll and slicing into rounds.
When baked, the pastry puffs into golden, crispy rolls — and each slice becomes a little spiral of joy.
They’re:
- Crispy on the outside, soft inside
- Loaded with protein and flavor
- Bite-sized but totally satisfying
- Great warm or at room temperature
- Perfect for gifting or freezing
No mixer, no fancy tools — just roll, slice, and bake.
