Ham and cheese pinwheels are a delicious appetizer or snack made by rolling sliced ham and cheese in pizza dough and baking it in a buttery, mustard based topping.

Ham And Swiss Pinwheels

From the recipe collection of Tara Ippolito

These ham and Swiss pinwheels are the easiest and most delicious little appetizer or snack.

Sometimes the more simple the ingredients, the more delicious the results. This recipe is a perfect example of that.

My brother Keith & sister in law Sarah were hosting my nieces 2nd birthday party at their home last weekend. Happy Birthday, Sadie Bug!!

I wanted to bring something that I knew everyone at the party would love. These were the perfect thing.

Ham and Swiss are such a wonderful flavor combination. How could anyone resist that delicious duo?

Bake them in between some pizza dough that’s been bushed with a buttery, mustard based topping and you’ve got a truly crowd pleasing appetizer.

These are wonderful to bring to any get together or make them at home for an easy lunch or snack.

Not only are they incredibly delicious, but they’re practically effortless to put together, too. That’s a win win if you ask me.

I hope you give this recipe a try. If you do, I know you’ll love them just as much I as my family and I do.

Ham And Swiss Pinwheels Variations

I like these pinwheels made just the way they are, but here are some ways to change it up if you’d like to.

• Cheese- Use any kind of cheese that you’d like for this. It all works!
• Dough- Feel Free to use your own pizza dough or use any brand. I’d I have the time, I like to run to my local pizza place and grab a large dough. It’s only $2 and they’re usually more than happy to sell some.

• Dough- Crescent roll dough is ok to use instead of pizza dough.
• Meat- Switch it up by using some deli sliced turkey or pepperoni instead.

• Worcestershire Sauce
• Poppy Seeds

Institutions

Preheat the oven to 350°

First, roll the pizza dough out into a rectangle shape on a lightly floured surface.

Now, lay the slices of ham down side by side.

Then, lay the thinly sliced swiss cheese down on top of the ham.

Next, jelly roll the dough up and place it seem side down onto a cutting board.

Now, using a serrated knife, slice the dough into 1.5-2” pinwheels.

Then, place the pinwheels down onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet.

Next, place them into the center rack of the oven for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, stir together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce and poppy seeds.

Now, brush the mixture on top of the pinwheels and place them back into the oven for another 5-10 minutes or until the dough is cooked all the way through.

Finally, let them cool slightly, serve warm and enjoy!
