Ingredients
- Cream cheese- You will need this softened or at room temperature.
- Ham- You will need to finely dice your ham.
- Pineapple- This will need to be crushed and drained very well.
- Scallion- You will need to thinly slice to prepare.
- Spicy mustard- This will add a slightly spicier flavor to your pinwheels.
- Clove garlic- You can buy pre-minced or mince your own garlic for the best flavoring.
- Crescent roll- You will need to use the dough sheet.
- Parsley- Use fresh parsley for the best taste and have chopped as an optional garnish.
How to Make Pineapple Ham Pinwheels
Set your oven to 375 degrees. Use parchment paper to line a baking sheet.
Add the cream cheese, ham, pineapple, scallion, mustard, and garlic into a medium-sized bowl and combine. Set aside.
Clean off a surface to work on, then roll your dough. Face the long edge towards you.
Add the cream cheese mixture evenly on top of the dough. Leave 3/4 of an inch around the perimeter of the dough.
Beginning at the long end, roll the dough into a tight log. Pinch the seams with your fingers to seal closed.
Cut evenly into about 12 slices.
Arrange the pinwheels on to the prepared sheet barely touching. I arranged them into 4 rows with 3 rolls in each row.
Place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until light brown.
Set aside for 10 minutes to cool.
Slice more scallions and parsley and if desired, garnish your rolls.
Notes
*Drain the pineapple very well by putting it into a fine-mesh strainer and pressing all of the juice out.

Pineapple Ham Pinwheels
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup finely diced ham
- ½ cup crushed pineapple drained very well*
- 1 scallion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon spicy mustard
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 crescent roll dough sheet
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside. In a medium-sized bowl mix together the cream cheese, ham, pineapple, scallion, mustard, and garlic until combined. Set aside.
- Roll out the crescent roll dough on a clean work surface. Have the longer edge facing you. Smear the cream cheese mixture all over the dough, leaving a ¾ inch border of dough with no mixture. Starting at the long edge facing you, tightly roll the crescent roll dough over the mixture forming a log, pinch the seam together. As evenly as you can, cut into 12 even slices.
- Place the slices, barely touching onto the sheet tray. I did 4 rows of 3 rolls. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Let cool 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with more sliced scallions and parsley, optional.
