Best Matzoh Pinwheel Appetizers Recipes

KIELBASA AND HONEY MUSTARD PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
• Unfold the puff pastry onto a lightly floured work surface. Using a rolling pin, gently roll the dough out to a 10-by-15-inch rectangle. With a small offset spatula, spread the honey mustard evenly over the dough, making sure to go all the way to the edges, then sprinkle the kielbasa pieces over the mustard.
• Starting at a long side, roll the dough into a log as you would a jelly roll, then pinch the seam shut and place onto the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down. Refrigerate the log until slightly firm, at least 30 minutes; this will make it easier to cut it into rounds. (See Cook's Note)
• Cut the chilled puff pastry log into 1/2-inch-wide slices (you should get 20 to 22 slices) and place the slices cut-side down onto the baking sheet. If needed, adjust the slice shape to form a circle. Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 18 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.

APPETIZER TORTILLA PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Beat cream cheese, cheese and sour cream until blended. Stir in olives, green chiles, green onions and seasonings., Spread over tortillas; roll up tightly. Wrap each in plastic, twisting ends to seal; refrigerate several hours., Unwrap. Cut into 1/2- to 3/4-in. slices, using a serrated knife. If desired, serve with salsa.

CHEDDAR AND BACON PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and allow to cool slightly, then finely chop. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, stir together the cream cheese and scallions. Season with salt and pepper.
• Unfold the pastry sheets on a lightly floured work surface. Lightly roll each piece of pastry into a 10-inch square. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface of each piece of pastry, leaving a slight border around the edges. Sprinkle the Cheddar and bacon in an even layer over the top of the cream cheese mixture. Tightly roll each pastry sheet into a log (jelly roll style), then pinch the seam closed and place seam-side down on the work surface.
• Using a sharp knife, cut both logs crosswise into 12 pinwheels each, approximately 1 inch thick. Transfer 12 pinwheels to each prepared baking sheet, spiral-side up. In a small bowl, whisk the egg and 1 tablespoon water until combined to make an egg wash. Brush the tops and sides of the pinwheels with the egg wash.
• Bake the pinwheels until puffed and golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm.

MY NOT KOSHER MATZOH

Steps:

• Place the flours, salt, eggs, and half of the olive oil in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade or an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook. Mix or process until the dough forms a ball. Turn the dough out into a clean bowl and cover with a damp towel, Let it rest at room temperature for at least 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Using a pasta machine or a rolling pin, roll out the dough until it is very thin, like lasagna (number 1 on the pasta machine or as thin as possible without tearing). You should have approximately 6 sheets, about 6 by 10-inches each.
• Place the dough on baking sheets and brush very lightly with the remaining olive oil. Sprinkle lightly with the salt, thyme, and onion. Bake the matzoh for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
