Ham & Cheese Pesto Pinwheels Recipe

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

pesto sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade basil pesto

💰Cheaper: spinach pesto

Homemade versions can be more cost-effective and customizable.

shredded cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated Parmesan

Nutritional yeast adds flavor with fewer calories.

tortillas

🥗Healthier: whole wheat tortillas

💰Cheaper: flatbreads

Whole wheat provides more fiber.

Preheat oven to 400°F.  Prepare 2 baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray or silicone baking mats.

Lay out puff pastry sheets. Divide and spread the pesto onto the two pastry sheets. Next, layer with the ham slices, followed by the cheese.

Starting from the short side, tightly roll the puff pastry all the way (like a jelly roll).  Using a sharp serrated knife, slice each log into ~1/2 inch slices to create pinwheels (you should get between 15-18). Place the pinwheels flat onto the prepared baking sheets.

Bake 15-18 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Allow to slightly cool before serving. Enjoy!
