A friend gave me this recipe, and whenever I serve these pretty and delicious appetizers, people ask me for the recipe, too! Besides being attractive and tasty, the pinwheels can be made ahead of time and sliced just before serving, leaving you time for other last-minute party preparations. —Pat Waymire, Yellow Springs, Ohio

This recipe was amazing as is. Can sure understand why it was a contest winner. Made it again also adding one thin slice of Boar's Head jerk turkey and ham. The jerk turkey added quite a kick. Would also try substituting jalapeno peppers for the green chilies for even more of a kick!

I took a tray of these to a party and they really made me look like a star. Easy to make, fast, delicious, not a thing to change about the recipe...and I agree...the electric knife is a great tip. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!

Anytime we have a party or a potluck, I'm asked to bring these! My mom even makes only the filling and uses it on bagels, crackers or eats it with veggies. We ALL absolutely LOVE it!!

Very good taste - I would make the filling the day before to let flavors mix. The electric knife used to cut is an excellent recommendation - worked GREAT!
