Ham and cheese roll ups are perfect for a quick lunch, snack or appetizer for a crowd. This Grey Poupon Ham and Cheese pinwheels recipe will hit the spot!
Now I can’t take the full credit for this pinwheels recipe. I saw these Hot Ham and Cheese Roll Ups on Facebook and shared it to the My Heavenly Recipes Facebook page.
I remembered the general ingredients for the pinwheels recipe and went ahead and “winged it” because that’s just what I do. So the original recipe is from Kevin and Amanda. Be sure to stop by their site and check them out if you don’t already!
In Kevin & Amanda’s roll ups recipe, they used poppy seeds & butter….I’m not one for butter unless it’s absolutely necessary. This wasn’t one of those times. As I am laid up with this foot surgery I don’t need any extra calories. Because I’ll have to work that much harder once I am cleared to walk and do workouts again!
I don’t like extra work either!
Now can you think of anything better than hot ham & cheese? OK that’s probably not a very good question to ask…but, these pinwheel appetizers are pretty damn good.
NO! Scratch that — These Grey Poupon Ham and Cheese Roll Ups are AMAZING. So amazing in fact, my Husband had more of these rollups than I can count. 😉
If you say that you aren’t a cook – you are wrong! You can totally whip up these roll ups. They don’t take any fancy schmancy ingredients. In fact, my husband made this pinwheels recipe over Christmas break – ya know, since I can’t even stand for longer than 2 minutes….
Now you can totally substitute out the lunch meat for ham if you prefer. You can add a little bit of pepperoni, salami, cheese, thinly sliced tomatoes and even a dash of italian dressing or Garlic Expressions. I’ll be making this Italian roll up version in the coming weeks, so stay tuned for that recipe.

You could also try freezing the pinwheels unbaked, but be careful of the grated cheese coming loose. Baking the pinwheels first, then freezing, is the easiest route. Store leftovers at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Pinwheels made too far in advance can become dry or the flavours may not be as vibrant. Solution: If made ahead of time, store the rolls wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator and slice just before serving to keep them fresh on the inside.
Let them rise about partway — until just starting to puff, but not ready to bake. At this point, freeze the rolls on their baking sheet for a few hours. Once they're frozen solid, you can transfer the unbaked rolls to a freezer bag or container.
Therefore, I put it in the freezer for approximately 20 minutes. Following this, my homemade fruit roll ups became crunchy, just like the store-bought ones. The reason why homemade fruit roll ups require an additional freezing step is due to their thickness.

To freeze un-baked pinwheels, place them in a single layer on a flat tray and freeze until solid (around an hour).Then, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for 2 months. Puff pastry scrolls can be baked straight from frozen, just add an extra 5 minutes to the cooking time.
Remove it from the freezer and let it sit on the counter for 30 minutes before using. You can also microwave the pastry wrapped in paper towel for 15 seconds on each side to speed up the thawing process. You can make a homemade puff pastry recipe, use store-bought, or even use pie dough to make pinwheels.
