Flaky puff pastry pinwheels with ham, cheese, olives, and sweet chili sauce. Perfect warm or cold.
# What You'll Need:
→ Pastry
01 -
1 sheet chilled pre-rolled puff pastry (approximately 9x9 inches)
→ Condiments
02 -
2 tablespoons Thai sweet chili sauce
→ Meat
03 -
4 ounces thinly sliced ham
→ Cheese
04 -
4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
→ Garnish
05 -
2 tablespoons finely chopped pitted olives (green or black)
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
Unroll the chilled puff pastry sheet onto a clean, flat surface.
03 -
Evenly spread Thai sweet chili sauce over the entire surface of the pastry, leaving a small border along edges.
04 -
Layer the ham slices evenly over the sauced pastry, followed by an even sprinkling of shredded mozzarella and chopped olives.
05 -
Carefully roll the pastry tightly from one edge to the other, forming a log approximately 9 inches long. Slice the roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
06 -
Place the pinwheels cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
07 -
Allow the pinwheels to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm or at room temperature.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
For best results, use pitted olives to avoid excess moisture and ensure even rolling.
02 -
Pinwheels can be enjoyed warm or cold; reheating enhances the cheese melt.
