Italian Pinwheels

A tasty impressive appetizer for family meals, game day parties, gatherings and holidays? Italian pinwheels are a perfect treat for all of them. Featuring a traditional Italian sub (a crazy good mix of genoa salami, Pepperoni slices, Provolone cheese and Romaine lettuce), these pinwheels are easier to serve alongside the meals. My family have given them a try and actually fell in love with.

Italian pinwheels are a dish that I get asked over and over again to bring to all gatherings. I first made them for Christmas’s dinner and these did an excellent job. They got both my family and guests hooked. They almost melt in our mouth right with the first bite. A friend of my even asked me for the recipe to serve these for her family. Such a great reward to any chef-of-home, right?

Who can resist pinwheels as an appetizer? I know that I can’t. This is not all because I love creamy pinwheels. The point here is they taste so good and look super impressive. They do not only satisfy your taste buds but also meet your need of beauty. And you, ready to have them on the dining table? Let’s get started!
