1

Combine the cheese, ham and pineapple in a bowl.

2

Evenly spread 2 tablespoons of the tomato paste over each sheet of puff pastry, leaving a 1 cm border at the far edge.

3

Sprinkle the oregano over the top, then spread on the cheese mixture.

4

Roll each pastry square tightly into a log and wrap in plastic wrap.

5

Place in the freezer for an hour until almost frozen - this helps to cut the pastry into perfect pinwheels.

6

Preheat the oven to 180°C fan-forced and line a large baking tray with baking paper.

7

Unwrap the pastry logs and cut each log into twelve 2 cm thick rounds, so you have twenty-four pinwheels in total.

8

Place cut-side up on the tray, leaving space for spreading, and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pinwheels are golden brown.

9

Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
