This is an old family favourite that I am posting for my sister in law. It's a quick and easy to make appetizer that never disappoints and it is very easy to vary. The finished result should look like a puffy Palmier cookie. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, please make sure to check at the 15 minute mark as not all ovens bake the same. The pinwheel should be puffy and golden brown when done.

Ingredients For quick puff pastry pinwheels

  • 2 sheet
    frozen puff pastry
  • 2 - 3 Tbsp
    mustard (Russian honey mustard or coarse Dijon), your choice
  • 1/2 c
    freshly shredded cheese (Parmigiano reggiano or pecorino Romano)
  • 6 - 8 slice
    good quality prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • 1 sm
    egg
  • 2 tsp
    water

How To Make quick puff pastry pinwheels

  • 1
    Defrost the puff pastry 30 - 40 minutes before you start assembling this treat.
  • 2
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place a piece of parchment paper on the bottom of a cookie sheet or pan you are going to use.
  • 3
    Lay out the puff pastry on a lightly floured board. Brush the top of the puff pastry with mustard. Use sparingly.
  • 4
    Sprinkle the Parmesan or pecorino cheese on top of the mustard. Both cheeses work well in this recipe. A combination of the two cheeses is also very tasty.
  • 5
    Layer the prosciutto slices on top of the cheese and mustard.
  • 6
    Tightly roll the shorter side of the dough in towards the middle, attempting to make it as snug as possible. Now roll the other side in towards the middle; pressing them lightly together.
  • 7
    Put the dough onto a parchment layered pan and using a sharp knife cut into 1 inch slices. Place the cut side down on the cookie sheet. Whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash.
  • 8
    Brush each one lightly with egg wash to ensure the top of each pinwheel is golden brown when baked.
  • 9
    Bake for 15 - 20 minutes until golden brown. Remove from pan and enjoy.
