Ingredients

  • 2 packages Crescent roll dough
  • 1 lb sliced deli ham
  • 1/2 lb sliced Swiss cheese (packaged or fresh from the deli)
  • 1/2 cup Sandwich spread Personally I LOVE the Boars Head Pepperhouse Gourmaise spread, and use it ALOT in my baked pinwheel recipes
  • 1/3 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 stick butter
  • 2 tbsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp poppy seeds

Instructions

  • First Preheat oven to 350
  • Soften the butter in a microwave safe bowl then mix in the garlic powder & cilantro and set aside
  • Next roll out crescent roll dough on a cutting board
  • Now evenly spread a generous amount of sandwich spread
  • Add cheese on top of spread
  • Add Deli Ham
  • Roll them and stretch to firmly seal the edge, leaving the ends open
  • If the crescent dough has become too soft or "sticky" place in fridge for 15 mins until it gets a little more firm, this makes it WAY more easy to cut before baking
  • cut each pinwheel evenly in size, they look small but remember, when they bake they will expand
  • Place each pinwheel evenly in a prepared baking dish
  • Now spread the softened butter, garlic powder, Cilantro mix on top
  • Evenly sprinkle poppy seeds on top
  • Bake for 15 mins or until golden brown, TIP: I like to use glass dishes so that I can see the bottom of what Im cooking
