Ham and Cheese Pinwheels

Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 10 minutes
Makes 16 pinwheels

Ingredients

  • 2 burrito-size flour tortillas 10 inch
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 8 slices deli ham
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Instructions

  • Beat the cream cheese with the dijon mustard until smooth and pale yellow throughout.
  • Spread the mixture over one tortilla, leaving a 1/2 inch bare border at the far edge.
  • Layer 4 slices of ham evenly over the cream cheese, then sprinkle with half the cheddar and chives.
  • Roll tightly from the near edge into a firm cylinder.
  • Wrap in plastic wrap, twist the ends, and repeat with the second tortilla.
  • Chill for at least 1 hour, until firm enough to slice cleanly.
  • Trim the ragged ends and cut into 8 rounds with a serrated knife.
  • Arrange on a platter, cut-side up, and serve chilled.

Good to Know

Leave out the mustard for a kids' version; the cream cheese still binds the roll without it.
