Feeling a bit lazy and snackie. . . mmm . ..pinwheels.

Who doesn't like a good snack? Pinwheels are so versatile and quick to make that they deserve to be served more often then at parties. I made these out of ingredients I already had in my refrigerator. 


Ingredients for For Cheesy Pastrami Pinwheels (makes 20):
1 canister of refrigerated Flaky Crescent Rolls
3 Tablespoon softened Cream Cheese
2 Deli slices of Pastrami
1/4 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese (sharp or mild)
1 teaspoon garlic paste (optional)


Directions: 

1. Roll out Crescent Roll dough onto a flat surface  (I just use the 16x21 inch baking sheet I'm baking them on).
2. Spread the garlic paste and cream cheese evenly over the dough. *Tip: I heat the cream cheese in the microwave for about 15 seconds to help soften.
3. Layer on the deli Pastrami.
4. Sprinkle the shredded Cheddar Cheese.
5. Starting from the front end, roll to the back end and seal by gently pressing the back end into the roll.
6. Cut into 20 sections with a serrated knife. 
7. Arrange on baking tray, careful not to let them each other.Bake at 375 degrees for approximately 15 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for about 5 minutes.

Transfer onto platter and enjoy by itself or serve with your favorite deli mustard.
