Tips:
Thawing Puff Pastry: Make sure to thaw the puff pastry in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight for best results.
Chill Before Baking: If the pinwheels become too soft while assembling, chill them in the fridge for about 15 minutes before baking to help them hold their shape.
Serving Suggestions: Serve with a dipping sauce like honey mustard, ranch, or marinara for added flavor.
Storage: Leftover pinwheels can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for later use.
To store your Ham and Cheese Puff Pastry Pinwheels, follow these steps:
Cooling: Allow the pinwheels to cool completely after baking. This helps prevent condensation, which can make them soggy.
Airtight Container: Place the cooled pinwheels in an airtight container. You can layer them with parchment paper to keep them from sticking together.
Refrigeration: Store the container in the refrigerator if you plan to eat them within 3 days.
Freezing: If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze the pinwheels. Place them on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 2 months.
Reheating: To reheat, bake them in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 10-15 minutes until heated through and crispy.
This way, you can enjoy your pinwheels later without losing their deliciousness!
