Pepper Jack Cucumber Pinwheels Recipes

CUCUMBER AND CREAM CHEESE SANDWICH ROLLS (WITH LAVASH BREAD)

Steps:

• Peel and thinly slice the cucumber.
• Lay a piece of lavash bread on your workspace and spread some cream cheese evenly (as shown in the picture) leaving one of the short ends with some empty space.
• Next, layer the cucumber slices over the cream cheese.
• Begin rolling the bread by the short end, but not the end with the space. Roll it tightly, not allowing any air gaps to form.
• Cut the cucumber and cream cheese sandwich roll with a sharp serrated knife (wipe with a damp paper towel between cuts) into four equal pieces. Secure with a long sandwich pick.
• Serve the cucumber pinwheels immediately for best results, or refrigerate, for just a few hours.

JALAPEñO POPPER PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
• Spread out your crescent roll doughs. Spread half of the cream cheese on one sheet of dough, and half the cream cheese on the other. Sprinkle half the shredded cheese on one roll and half the shredded cheese on the other. Do the same with the jalapeño peppers, half on one sheet, half on the other. Repeat with the bacon pieces.
• Roll each roll up tightly. Using a piece of floss, or a piece of fishing line, and put it underneath your roll up in the middle. Cross the ends of the floss over the top of the roll and pull. It will make a clean slice through the roll up. Repeat on each piece, putting it in the middle of the pice until you have 8 equal pieces.
• Place the pieces flat side down on parchment paper or a silicon lined baking mat. Bake for 10 minutes or until the dough is golden brown.

PINWHEELS 3 WAYS

Steps:

• For the base spread and tortillas: Mix together the cream cheese and pesto until well combined. Lay out the spinach, whole wheat and jalapeno-Cheddar tortillas and divide the cream cheese mixture among them. Using a spoon or offset spatula, spread the mixture all the way to the edges of each tortilla.
• For the veggie pinwheels: Evenly distribute the spinach over the top of the base spread on the spinach tortillas. Arrange the artichokes, green olives and sun-dried tomatoes over the spinach. Roll up the tortillas tightly and individually wrap in plastic. Set aside.
• For the meaty pinwheels: Shingle the cheese, pepperoni, salami and capicola onto the base spread on the whole wheat tortillas, slightly favoring one side. Roll up the tortillas tightly and individually wrap in plastic. Set aside.
• For the spicy pinwheels: Divide the pepper jack between the jalapeno-Cheddar tortillas topped with the base spread. Divide the arugula, sliced peppers and chopped cherry peppers between the tortillas. Roll up the tortillas tightly and individually wrap in plastic. Refrigerate the rolled tortillas for at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours.
• Unwrap and slice each tortilla into 1-inch segments/pinwheels. Arrange on a platter and serve.
