Lunch: Creamy Pesto Pinwheels Recipe | Myrecipes

Make quick and easy appetizer pinwheels with sandwich bread, cream cheese and prepared pesto.

Ingredients

8 thin slices white or whole-wheat sandwich bread, crusts removed
3 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup prepared pesto

Instructions

Roll each slice of bread to 1/4-inch thickness with a rolling pin. Using a whisk, beat cream cheese with butter until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Spread about 1/2 Tbsp. cream cheese mixture evenly over each slice of bread. Top with 1 Tbsp. pesto and spread thinly. Carefully roll into a tight cylinder.
Wrap each cylinder in plastic and twist ends like a candy wrapper to completely seal. Chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Unwrap cylinders. Using a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry, cut each cylinder into 6 pieces. Arrange cut side up on a platter and serve at room temperature.
