Broccoli Cheddar Pinwheels are a simple appetizer recipe. Filled with cheese, these finger foods can be made in advance for easy entertaining and game day. #easyappetizer #broccolicheese
In a small bowl combine the cream cheese, cheddar, garlic powder, and salt. Stir to combine.
Spread the cheese mixture across both tortillas to the edges in an even, thin layer. I skip spreading to the right and left edges by about an inch because the ends will be thrown out.
Sprinkle the broccoli across the cheese mixture and press down to compress.
Starting from the bottom, roll the tortilla up rather tightly but without squeezing the cream cheese mixture out.
Chill the logs in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up, or in the refrigerator if waiting longer before serving. The chilling will make them easier to slice and create cleaner cuts without everything oozing out.
When ready to serve, use a serrated knife to cut the log into half inch rounds (or as thick/thin as preferred). Discard the ends where the log is hollow (or snack on them!). Serve immediately.
Notes
You can also use regular large tortillas however you will get fewer pinwheels per tortilla and will need more to use up the cheese mixture.If you want a cream cheese heavy roll up, double the cream cheese and spice measurements.
