Salami and Cheese Pinwheels

Why make this recipe

Appetizers are great for so many occasions - a family gathering, holidays, football game and friends getting together.

These salami and cheese pinwheels are a perfect finger food for any occasion. Make these ahead of time and serve warm or at room temperature.

Key ingredients

  • Hard Salami
  • Puff pastry dough - purchased or homemade puff pastry
  • Shredded cheese
  • Coarse ground mustard
  • Egg - for egg wash

Step by step directions

  • Thaw puff pastry dough and roll out one package of dough. Purchased puff pastry comes already rolled out. I like to give it a few extra rolls with the rolling pin to help remove the creases in the dough. 
  • Brush the dough with coarse mustard

  • Sprinkle on grated cheese

  • Add chopped hard salami

  • Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 25 minutes 
  • Serve while still warm or at room temperature

Can I make ahead of time?

Yes, these can be made ahead of time. In fact, you need to make these ahead of time so you can easily cut the puff pastry. Otherwise the puff pastry is too soft and won't hold its shape when cut.

These are best assembled into a log and then wrapped in plastic wrap and refrigerated for at least 1 hour but up to 24 hours. When ready you can take out of the refrigerator, slice, brush with an egg wash and bake.

You can also bake these ahead of time. This delicious appetizer is perfect right out of the oven or cooled to room temperature.

More great appetizers

Appetizers are best served with an assortment of different choices. Some of my favorite include stuffed mushrooms, baked goat cheese, honey bbq wings, teriyaki wings, fresh cut veggies with homemade hummus, mini taco cups, chips with guacamole and salsa and cocktail meatballs.
