Ham Havarti Pinwheels

Ham Havarti Pinwheels

I know you all know about pinwheels and have seen them lots before but have you made any in the last while? I hadn’t and thought they would be great for a picnic! These Ham Havarti Pinwheels get a little kick up with honey mustard. I didn’t have any on hand so I just whipped up my own adding delicious honey to a fabulous spicy dijon was just perfect!

Not only are they great for picnics but everyone loves them at a party or gathering. They are one of the first things to go. They are the perfect make ahead finger party food. Plus, they make a great after school snack or the perfect lunch box sandwich. Kids love them and you can be very creative with the additions. 

I love the combination of ham and havarti, one of my favorites. Harvati comes conveniently sliced and packaged just like mozzarella and cheddar so it is easy to use.

Havarti has a very buttery aroma and I consider it a mild cheese but it does have more flavor than I would say a mozzarella. Sometimes you can get a herbed havarti too which is very nice. 

You can reach through and just grab that one. I will let you! The lettuce I used was from my garden. Use a leaf or a baby green as they are so much more pliable for rolling. Everyone loves a pinwheel and happy to see them served. My family just gobbled these down on our picnic!!

Create your own pinwheels to what you like and your family likes. It is a super easy dinner with a salad on the side or veggies and dip! Offer up some pickles too or sliced fresh fruit. Simple and summer worthy!! But pinwheels are great at anytime of the year.
