Reuben Pinwheels
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed unfolded for 30 minutes
- Thousand Island dressing or use Dijon mustard
- 3 oz. gruyere or swiss cheese, thinly sliced
- 6 oz. of deli corned beef, thinly sliced
- egg wash (1 egg mixed with 2 tsp. water)
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Lightly spray with a cooking spray.
Thaw the puff pastry on the counter for 30 minutes – be sure not to unfold it until after 30 minutes to minimize any tears. If there should be any cracks just use a little water on them and smooth them back into the dough.
Unfold and roll out to 10×14-inch rectangle. Spread dressing or mustard over the puff pastry. Then place the cheese and finally tear the corned beef into pieces and scatter on top of the cheese.
Cut the rectangle in half and roll up each half towards the center. Cut into 1/2-inch rolls. I like to cut the palmiers in half and make pinwheels.
Place on a sprayed baking sheet as they do want to stick. Brush with the egg wash to give the tops a nice color. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until they are nicely browned. Serve warm or at room temperature within an hour.
You can also freeze these rolls prior to slicing and baking. When ready to serve; thaw and cut into slices and bake as above.
This makes me very hungry! 🙂
Me too Ronit! I ate all of the ones on the plate for lunch and froze the rest 🙂
I usually freeze them before baking, so it’s less of a temptation! 🙂
That’s what I said in my post – I had to bake some for the pictures and froze the rest prior to slicing and baking 🙂
Guess the photos made me so hungry I skipped that! 🙂
Looks yummy!
They were Cindy 🙂
Appetizer? I’m thinking breakfast! 😋
Sure why not… I make a reuben casserole and serve it for breakfast/brunch 🙂
yum! my daughter requested pinwheels stuffed w sausage for her bday
That’s great Ralu – you can make these with any meat, cheese, veggies, etc. Sausage is another good version 🙂
You just gave me an idea for what to serve at an upcoming afternoon gathering. I’m going to have a pinwheel buffet and your Reuben Pinwheels will be front and center. We’ll make your Prosciutto, Parmesan and Honey Mustard and maybe cheeseburger pinwheels. Perhaps I’ll make a dessert pinwheel. Thanks for the inspiration, Judi.
