Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Makes: 32 pinwheels

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces sharp white cheddar cheese shredded
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 bunch chives chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

  • Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and preheat oven 350.
  • Combine all ingredients, except for the puff pastry, together in a large bowl and mix well.
  • Evenly spread half of the cheese mixture onto one sheet of puff pastry and top with half of the slices of prosciutto. 
  • Tightly roll the dough up, slice each roll into 16 pieces. Place on your parchment lined baking sheets (if you want to reshape them so they are nice and round, now is the time!). 
  • Repeat with remaining ingredients and chill the pinwheels for 30 minutes.
  • Once chilled, bake the pinwheels for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown and serve!

Notes
