Cook Time 20 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • FOR THE PINWHEELS
  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
  • 1 cup prepared pimento cheese recipe below
  • hot sauce optional
  • cooking spray optional
  • coarse salt optional
  • FOR THE PIMENTO CHEESE
  • 1 pound freshly grated sharp cheddar I do a blend of white and yellow
  • 4 ounces drained chopped pimentos
  • 1 small jalapeno seeded and minced
  • 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce such as Texas Pete
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon seasoned salt plus more if needed

Instructions
 

  • For the pinwheels, preheat the oven to 450F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner. Unfold the puff pastry and use your fingers to stretch it in all directions just a bit. Spread the pimento cheese all over the puff pastry. If using, sprinkle hot sauce over top. Use your fingers to roll the puff pastry into a tight log with the pimento cheese, then cut into 1-inch rounds. Arrange the rounds on the baking sheet with 2 inches space in between. If using, spray with cooking spray and sprinkle with coarse salt. Bake 15-20 minutes until puffy and golden. Let cool 5 minutes or so before serving. Enjoy!
  • For the pimento cheese, combine all ingredients and adjust seasonings to your preference. If the cheese mixture seems very dry, add a bit more sour cream and mayo 1 tablespoon at a time.
