Easter Ham and Cheddar Pinwheels
These Easter Ham and Cheddar Pinwheels are delightful spiral appetizers featuring savory ham, sharp cheddar cheese, and cream cheese wrapped in soft tortillas.
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas 10-inch
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 8-10 slices deli ham
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives chopped
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Optional: 1/4 cup diced pickles or roasted red peppers
Instructions
- Start by preparing your cream cheese mixture, which is really the heart of these pinwheels. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream, beating them together until you get a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Add the Dijon mustard, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika to your cream cheese mixture, stirring everything together until well combined.
- Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped fresh chives.
- Lay your tortillas flat on a clean work surface. Using a spatula or butter knife, spread about 1/4 of the cream cheese mixture evenly over each tortilla, making sure to spread it all the way to the edges.
- Layer 2-3 slices of deli ham over the cream cheese on each tortilla, covering the surface evenly.
- Now comes the rolling part. Starting from one edge, tightly roll up each tortilla like a jelly roll or burrito.
- Refrigerate the wrapped tortilla rolls for at least 2 hours, though overnight is even better.
- When you’re ready to serve, unwrap the chilled rolls and place them on a cutting board. Using a sharp serrated knife, trim off the uneven ends, then slice each roll into 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick rounds.
