Pimiento Cheese Pinwheels
- 1 package Frozen Puff Pastry, 14-17 Ounce Package
- 1- 1/2 cup Homemade Or Store Bought Pimiento Cheese
- Flour, For Your Work Surface
- Thaw puff pastry until it can be rolled out.
- Lightly flour your work surface and rolling pin.
- Roll the puff pastry out to approximately a 15x15 inch square, or until the puff pastry is thin, but does not easily tear.
- Spread a thin layer of pimiento cheese over the whole pastry, leaving a 1/2 inch border on all sides.
- If pimiento cheese is not your thing, try topping with:
- -A thin layer of deli mustard, grated cheese and salami -Pesto, mozzarella and sundried tomatoes -Honey mustard, turkey and Swiss cheese
- Starting from the right side of the dough, roll the pastry up to form a log.
- Wrap the log in wax paper (to prevent sticking) and then wrap that in tin foil (to seal) and put it in the freezer.
- This can be frozen for several weeks.
- If you want to bake the pinwheels right away, I would still recommend freezing the log for 15-20 minutes, to firm it up.
- Makes slicing a lot easier!
- When ready to bake:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Remove pinwheel log from the freezer and unwrap.
- Using a very sharp knife, slice the log into thin rounds, less than a 1/4 inch thick.
- Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray, or cover with parchment paper.
- Lay the pinwheel slices down, about an inch apart.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until puffed up and lightly browned.
- Cool and serve.
