Ingredients
For the Pinwheels:
-
1 (8 oz) can refrigerated crescent roll dough
-
1/2 lb deli roast beef, thinly sliced
-
1 cup shredded Swiss or provolone cheese
-
1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional, for extra flavor)
-
1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
-
1/2 tsp garlic powder
-
1/2 tsp dried parsley
For the Au Jus:
-
1 cup beef broth
-
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
-
1/2 tsp soy sauce
-
1/4 tsp garlic powder
-
1/4 tsp onion powder
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Prepare the dough: Roll out the crescent dough on a lightly floured surface, pressing the seams together to form a single sheet.
-
Assemble the pinwheels: Spread Dijon mustard (if using) over the dough, then layer with roast beef and shredded cheese.
-
Roll & slice: Tightly roll up the dough from the long side into a log. Slice into 1-inch rounds and place them cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Brush & bake: Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder and dried parsley. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.
-
Make the au jus: While the pinwheels bake, heat the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small saucepan over medium heat until warm.
-
Serve: Let the pinwheels cool for a few minutes, then serve warm with au jus for dipping!
Notes
-
For a crispy bottom, bake on a greased or parchment-lined cast iron skillet instead of a baking sheet.
-
Swap Swiss or provolone for mozzarella or cheddar for a different flavor.
-
If using crescent dough sheets, you won’t need to press seams together.
