Ask a question about this stepStarting at the long end, roll the pastry to form a log and then refrigerate for about 20 minutes for ease in cutting. ( At this point you can wrap the log well and freeze for future use. Just partially thaw before slicing and baking. )

Ask a question about this stepI think fontina or provolone would work...
I can see a nice white sauce drizzled over top....
That sounds really good!! Let me know if you try It!
I just recently made a variation of these for the holidays! I used artichoke hearts (canned or frozen are great!) instead of the pepperoni since we don't eat meat. I love that you can freeze what you don't need and pull it out for guest at any given time!
Oh I'm so glad you enjoyed them...the artichokes sound amazing...I'll try soon. I also have Little Mushroom Pinwheels posted on this site which very good and meatless! Thanks!
May I use frozen spinach in place of the fresh?
You sure can..just make sure you squeeze it dry...and you probably will only need about 5 or 6 ounces of the frozen. Hope you enjoy!
Thinking of making this without the pepperoni since we are vegetarians. Maybe substitute mushroom or diced red peppers. Thanks for this recipe.
Thank you! I think either mushrooms or red pepper would be wonderful!
IPK, I have some pancetta that needs a good home. Could I substitute it for the bacon here for the EP test (which I was lucky enough to snag!)?
So sorry, just realized it's pepperoni. Could I still sub the pancetta?
Why not? It's just for a little salt anyway...
Oh, thank you!
I should clarify this.. I actually think bacon or pancetta would be even better than pepperoni!
Thanks!
Too cute! Too good! I'd gobble them in one sitting.
Thanks! They are little gobblers!
This are so cute! And so easy. Definitely a fun idea for a party!
Thanks! I like them because you can definitely make them ahead and pop a roll out of the freezer when you need them!
Oh, good idea.
Thanks!!
Those are so beautiful and the perfect little appetizer. Saving and making these soon.
Thanks so much!

What is a good cheese substitute for the Asiago chesse?
