These delicious air fryer ham and cheese pinwheels are ready in about 20 minutes. Serve as a snack, quick lunch or party appetizer.
Ingredients
- 13 ounces fresh pizza dough or 1 13-ounce can of refrigerated pizza dough
- 15 thin slices deli ham
- 10 slices cheese Havarti, Swiss, provolone, pepper jack, Monterey Jack
- 8 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- parsley for garnish optional
Instructions
-
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to form a 13 x 9 rectangle.
-
Place ham slices so the dough is fully covered.
-
Top the ham with cheese slices. Trim the cheese to fit the dough.
-
Roll the dough on the long edge, enclosing the ham and cheese. Continue rolling tightly to keep the ham and cheese inside. Pinch the ends closed.
-
Cut the roll into 8 pieces with a sharp knife. For thinner pinwheels, cut them into 10 or 12 pieces.
-
Lightly grease a 9” pie pan and place the pinwheels into the pan. Set aside.
-
Place the butter, garlic, and Italian seasoning in a microwave-safe measuring cup or small bowl. Melt the butter in the microwave for 20-30 seconds. Do not over-melt the butter or it will separate. Once melted, stir to mix in the seasonings.
-
Brush the tops of the pinwheels with the seasoned butter.
-
Place the pan in the air fryer basket and cook at 350°F for 10 minutes or until the crust is fully cooked and golden.
-
Remove from the air fryer and allow to cool.
-
Garnish with parsley if desired before serving.
Notes
- Make sure the pan fits your air fryer basket before starting. Use a smaller pan if needed.
- You can substitute the pizza dough for crescent roll dough, puff pastry dough or crescent sheet dough.
- Pinwheels are best served fresh but you can store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350 degrees F for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
