🧁 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.
