Cheese Pinwheel Rolls Recipe

A favorite at children's parties, these pinwheel sandwiches are easy to pick up and eat. Using bread that's pastel tinted (usually green or pink) makes the doubly attractive.

Ingredients : Serves 8-10

200 g

1/4 cup

1 tablespoon

1 loaf

Cheddar cheese, grated about 1 1/2 cups

Butter, softened

Finely chopped red capsicum (bell peppers)

Sugar

Fresh, unsliced bread, preferably pastel colored (must not be previously chilled or the bread will be too dry)

Method :

Combine cheese, butter, capsicum and sugar in a bowl.
Stir well or blend in a blender or food processor until the mixture is smooth.
Trim the top crust from the bread with a bread knife. Slice the loaf lengthwise to make 4-5 thin slices.
Spread the cheese mixture onto each slice.
Roll each slice lengthwise, pressing tightly. Wrap in waxed paper and chill 1-2 hours in a refrigerator, or until the cheese mixture is firm.
Cut into thin slices and serve.
