Ham and Cheese Pinwheels
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup grated Cheddar
- 1 tablespoon chopped pimiento
- 1/2 teaspoon Baby Bam or Essence, recipes follow
- 1 to 2 drops hot sauce, optional
- 2 (7-inch) flour tortillas
- 4 thin slices deli ham
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, Cheddar, pimiento, Baby Bam or Essence, and hot sauce, if using, and stir well to combine.
- On a cutting board, lay the 2 tortillas flat.
- Using the rubber spatula, divide the cheesy filling evenly between the 2 tortillas.
- Spread the filling to within 1/2-inch from the edges of the tortillas.
- Lay 2 slices of ham over the filling.
- Using clean fingers, roll each tortilla into a cylinder shape, rolling as tightly as you can.
- Using a chef's knife, cut each cylinder into 1/2-inch slices, or "pinwheels."
- Serve immediately.
- 3 tablespoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
- Here's something to season your foods, like the grown-ups do with Emeril's Original Essence.
- Add another dimension by sprinkling it into everything, from soups and sauces to pizza and hamburger patties.
- You fearless bammers out there can kick this up a notch by adding cayenne, to taste.
- (I'd start with about 1/4 teaspoon, and then take it from there.)
- Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir well to combine with a wooden spoon.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

- 1 tablespoon black pepper
