I don’t know if you are like me but anytime I see something rolled up in a pinwheel I want to eat it. Cinnamon rolls come to mind, pinwheel cookies and of course jelly roll cakes. There is always something good rolled up inside, it’s like there is a surprise inside. I am adding these savory bite-sized Apricot Parmesan Puff Pastry Pinwheels to my love of pinwheel foods.
Impress your guests with these puff pastry appetizers
These little flakey pastries went on a cheese and meat board for a party and they were the first thing to go. I was lucky to actually have some to put on the board since people starting eating them right out of the oven.
You can check out the Cheese and Meat Board post to see how I created this delicious board for our happy hour.
This is a perfect appetizer to make for your next get together or party, and with only 4 ingredients, puff pastry sheets, apricot jam, rosemary, and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese they take no time to prepare. I’m just going to give you a hint right now, make extra because everyone loves these.
Make sure when you are buying parmesan that you are getting the real deal. Look for the pin stamp on the rind. Only real Parmigiano-Reggiano comes from Italy.

Glad you made these pinwheels, they are so easy to make.
What fun to combine fruit and cheese in baking – I think they both bring out the flavor in each other. Yum.
