Pinwheel sandwiches are a delightful and easy-to-make appetizer perfect for any gathering. They are bite-sized, versatile, and can be customized with your favorite fillings. This recipe features classic ham and Brie pinwheels, but you can add other ingredients to suit your taste.

Ingredients

• 1 burrito-size flour tortilla
• 2 ounces Brie cheese, softened
• 2 ounces smoked ham, thinly sliced

Steps to Make It

1. Gather the ingredients.

2. Prepare the Tortilla:

   • Lay the tortilla flat on a clean work surface.

3. Spread the Cheese:

   • Gently spread the softened Brie cheese over the surface of the tortilla, creating an even layer. Leave a small border around the edge of the tortilla.

4. Add the Ham:

   • Lay the smoked ham slices in a single layer on top of the cheese.

5. Roll the Tortilla:

   • Starting at one end, roll the tortilla up tightly like a rug.

6. Chill the Roll:

   • Wrap the rolled tortilla tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to help it set and make slicing easier.

7. Slice the Pinwheels:

   • Remove the plastic wrap. Use a sharp knife to slice the rolled sandwich crosswise into pinwheels approximately 3/4-inch wide.

8. Serve:

   • Stick a toothpick through each pinwheel to hold it in place and arrange them on a serving platter. Enjoy!

Tips

• Alternative Wrappers: Rectangular flatbreads, wraps, and tortillas all work well as wrappers. You can also remove the crusts from regular white sandwich bread and flatten it with a rolling pin.
• Healthy Option: For a healthier wrapper, try using blanched collard green leaves.
• Customization: Add extra ingredients such as cornichons, radish sprouts, or different types of cheese and deli meats to customize your pinwheels.
