How To Make Ham Pinwheels

To start making these, you want to get your cream cheese out and allow it to soften as soon as you can. Making a batch of Ham Pinwheels takes about a half hour, so ensure you have the time set aside!

Take a slice of ham and lightly tap it with a piece of paper towel. This allows for the cream cheese to spread more easily. Take a heavy glob of cream cheese and spread a thick layer across the entirety of the slice of ham.

Next, place a spring onion on top and tightly roll the two together. Now, slice the large rolled combo into about 6-8 smaller pieces.

Ta-da! Repeat and you’ll soon have a hundred little ham pinwheel snacks pieces!

Different Variations

There are SO MANY different ways you can customize these to your personal tastes.

• Replace the spring onion with a pickle
• Use a flavored cream cheese
• Add a sprinkle of cheese to the cream cheese spread
• Add herbs and spices

These are just some of the different ways you can change up the flavor of these pinwheels! If you end up finding something else that you love, be sure to share it in the comments before for others to try as well!
