Here’s a fabulous recipe for a great appetizer….I have served it at many parties and it is always a huge hit!  I served it at my New Year’s Eve party last night.  I made up the rolls in the morning, stored them in a container with wax paper so they didn’t stick together, and during the party it was very easy to get them out and slice and bake them.  Easy to serve and guests love something fresh from the oven! I usually double this recipe, since they go so fast and each guest usually gobbles up at least half a dozen!

Party Pinwheels

3 oz package of cream cheese, softened

1/2 teaspoon prepared horseradish

1/2 teaspoon mustard

1/2 teaspoon parsley flakes

8 oz can Pillsbury refrigerated Quick Crescent Dinner Rolls

4 oz package thinly sliced boiled ham ( I like the smoked)

Heat oven to 375F.  Lightly grease cookie sheet.  In small bowl, combine cheese, horseradish, mustard and parsley flakes; mix well.   Separate dough into four rectangles.  Firmly press perforations to seal.

Spread cheese mixture evenly to edges on dough rectangles; place one ham slice on each rectangle.  Roll up, jelly-roll fashion, starting with shorter side. Cut each rectangle into eight 1/2-inch thick slices.  Place cut-side-down on prepared cookie sheets.  Bake at 375F, for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.  Serve warm.  32 snacks.  Note- I usually don’t go the whole 12 minutes as I like them to be more soft and less crispy. 10-11 works for me.  The easiest way to slice them is to start in the middle and cut in half, then half again, and again.

 Easy-peasy!  Enjoy!
