Pinwheel Appetizer Recipe
Easy, Attractive Roast Beef Appetizer
for the Party
There's something about a pinwheel appetizer recipe that makes it look like you spent hours preparing it. This is a zippy roast beef appetizer, an easy and attractive addition to the party menu.
Sliced roast beef can be purchased from your local deli, warehouse market or better grocer without the fuss of preparing a roast yourself. Enjoy Roast Beef Pinwheels.
Roast Beef Pinwheels
4 large, thin slices medium-rare roast beef
1/2 cup cream cheese
1-2 tablespoons prepared horseradish, or to taste
Whip the cream cheese with a fork until soft. Stir in the horseradish. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the slices of roast beef.
Starting at a narrow end, roll each slice tightly and wrap them individually in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
To finish the Pinwheels, unwrap the rolls and slice into 1/2 slices. Arrange them on a serving platter. Makes 36 to 48 appetizers.
Notes:
Using horseradish sauce in the Roast Beef Pinwheels recipe, rather than straight prepared horseradish, cuts the zippiness but, also, the flavor of the recipe a bit.
Smaller slices of roast beef can be used in a pinch; just make more "rolls" and slice them a little thicker.
Note: I added a little scallion to this recipe, and it was just what the recipe called for. They were a big hit.
Ham & Sun Dried Tomatoes Pinwheels
Ingredients:
6 (10 inch size) flour tortillas
1 package (8 ounce size) cream cheese, softened
12 slices ham
4 ounces fresh basil
1 cup sun-dried tomatoes
12 leaves red lettuce
Directions:
Spread each tortilla lightly with cream cheese.
Arrange two ham slices across the middle of each tortilla. Add a layer of fresh basil, then a layer of tomatoes. Do not place ingredients too close to tortilla edges.
Add lettuce; use enough leaf lettuce to cover across the center of each tortilla, with some of the frilly leaf edge hanging over.
Starting at one end, tightly roll up each tortilla. Stick toothpicks in four evenly spaced spots of tortilla roll. Place tortilla rolls in a dish, cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours to chill.
Slice each roll into four evenly sized sandwiches, and serve as soon as possible.

Note: I used Prosciutto instead of Ham, and omitted the lettuce. I made 1/2" slices instead of sandwiches.
