Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 sheet lavash bread
- ½ oz butter or mayonnaise (optional)
Filling
- 10 slices ham (nitrate-free, preferred)
- 10 leaves butter lettuce
Optional Additions
- Your choice of meat, vegetables, and/or cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Lavash: Lay the sheet of lavash bread flat on a clean surface. If desired, spread ½ oz of butter or mayonnaise evenly over the entire surface of the bread to add moisture and flavor.
- Assemble the Fillings: Arrange 10 slices of nitrate-free ham evenly over the lavash, ensuring full coverage. Place 10 leaves of butter lettuce on top of the ham layer. Add any other desired vegetables, cheese, or meats evenly across the lavash to your preference.
- Roll Up: Starting from one edge, tightly roll the lavash with the fillings inside to form a log shape. Ensure the roll is firm and compact so the pinwheels will hold together when sliced.
- Slice Into Pinwheels: Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into evenly sized pinwheel sandwiches, about 1-inch thick slices, to create bite-sized spiral sandwiches perfect for serving.
- Serve: Arrange the pinwheel sandwiches on a platter and serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. These sandwiches are great for quick snacks, parties, or picnic fare.
Notes
- You can substitute the ham with turkey, chicken, roast beef, or vegetarian alternatives for variety.
- Add thinly sliced vegetables like cucumber, bell pepper, or shredded carrots for extra crunch and freshness.
- Cheese options such as Swiss, cheddar, or cream cheese spread complement the flavors well.
- For best results, slice the roll with a very sharp knife to maintain clean edges and prevent fillings from spilling out.
- These sandwiches can be made a few hours in advance and refrigerated, but are best served fresh to maintain the bread’s texture.
