Notes
For added flavor, consider incorporating a teaspoon of lemon zest into the filling.
You can customize the pinwheels by adding thin slices of turkey or crispy bacon for extra protein or using different types of cheese, like Brie or Boursin, if feta isn’t your favorite.
Plan to make a day ahead for easy prep, but slice fresh for serving to maintain presentation and flavor.
