Prosciutto and Cheese Puff Pastry Pinwheels

These pinwheels are easy to make and use just a few simple ingredients. The combination of prosciutto and cheese, wrapped in a golden puff pastry, creates a delicious appetizer that is as pleasing to the eye as it is to the palate.

Prosciutto and Cheese Puff Pastry Pinwheels

Ingredients:

  • 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
  • 4 ounces of prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • 6 ounces of cheese (such as Gruyère or mozzarella), grated
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Freshly cracked black pepper (to taste)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle. If it’s already rolled out, simply lay it flat.
  3. Layer the prosciutto slices evenly over the puff pastry, ensuring that it covers the surface.
  4. Sprinkle the grated cheese over the prosciutto, and then season with freshly cracked black pepper.
  5. Starting from one end, gently roll the puff pastry towards the opposite end, creating a tight log. Pinch the edges to seal.
  6. Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled pastry into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
  7. Place the pinwheels on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out evenly. Brush the tops with the beaten egg to give them a golden finish.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the pinwheels are puffed and golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving warm.

These Prosciutto and Cheese Puff Pastry Pinwheels are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but they can also be made ahead and reheated. Serve them with a side of mustard or a simple dipping sauce, and watch your loved ones savor every bite. Enjoy your cooking adventure!
