Caprese Pinwheel Sandwiches - A Speedy Lunch

 

And so my sandwich week continues. 

This is my favourite sandwich yet. I've done nothing but think about this one since I made it and speedily ate it yesterday. Oh it's so, so good. I have to buy some more flour tortillas to make some more of these tomorrow.

The flavours are those of a Caprese Salad, but instead of mozzarella I used a base of Philadelphia with garlic and herbs, added all my toppings and finished it off with a layer of Leerdammer before rolling it.


I was originally planning to wrap these up and cut them in half. I'm so glad I decided to slice them into pinwheels.They're so bonnie served up on a pretty plate.

They'd be great for a party or a wee one's packed lunch. I'm already thinking up some other flavours to try.

What would you fill pinwheel sandwiches with?

  1. Caprese is The Vikings favourite salad so these would be a huge hit. Love how gloriously summery they look x

  4. I do love me a wrap - and the combo of cheese, tomatoes and my beloved Philly is a winner! These would be great for picnics too...

  5. These do look lovely Jac. I always have wraps in the freezer and my grandsons love pinwheel sandwiches as do we. Cheese is usually involved somewhere, but avocado/guacamole is also really lovely as it's sticky enough to hold the pinwheels together.
