Pizza Pinwheels with Prosciutto and Gorgonzola are flaky puff pastry bites layered with salty prosciutto, creamy gorgonzola, mozzarella, and savory pizza flavors. These elegant pinwheels are perfect for appetizers, brunches, or entertaining and taste delicious warm or at room temperature.

Ingredients

  • 1 puff pastry sheet, thawed
  • 1/3 cup pizza sauce
  • 4 oz prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Optional: caramelized onions
  • Optional: arugula
  • Optional: red pepper flakes
  • Optional: fresh basil
  • Optional: honey drizzle

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the puff pastry sheet slightly on a lightly floured surface.
  3. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce evenly across the pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
  4. Layer the prosciutto slices evenly over the sauce.
  5. Sprinkle gorgonzola, mozzarella, and parmesan cheese evenly across the pastry.
  6. Add Italian seasoning and any optional toppings such as caramelized onions or red pepper flakes.
  7. Roll the pastry tightly into a log shape.
  8. Chill the roll for about 15 minutes to make slicing easier.
  9. Slice the log into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
  10. Arrange the pinwheels on the prepared baking sheet.
  11. Brush the tops lightly with beaten egg.
  12. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
  13. Let cool slightly before serving.
  14. Garnish with fresh basil or a light honey drizzle if desired.

Notes

  • Puff pastry creates a flaky texture, while pizza dough gives a chewier result.
  • Avoid using too much sauce to keep the pastry crisp.
  • Blue cheese, fontina, or goat cheese can be substituted for gorgonzola.
  • Add figs or caramelized onions for a sweet and savory variation.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven or air fryer for the crispiest texture.
  • Freeze unbaked pinwheels for up to 2 months.
