For an extra golden finish, brush the pinwheels with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water or milk) before baking. Experiment with different cheeses and meats. Gruyere, Swiss, provolone, turkey, or pepperoni would all be delicious alternatives. Add a sprinkle of herbs like dried thyme, rosemary, or oregano to the mustard layer for added flavor. For a spicier kick, use spicy mustard or add a pinch of red pepper flakes. These pinwheels are best served warm, but they can also be enjoyed at room temperature. Store leftover pinwheels in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until warmed through.

May 1, 2025Great recipe! I found that chilling the puff pastry roll in the fridge for about 15 minutes before slicing made it easier to cut clean slices.
