There’s just something so delightful about pinwheel-shaped food, don’t you think? It’s cheerful, perfectly portioned, and always feels like a celebration on a plate. Whether you’re nibbling on sweet and festive pinwheel cookies around the holidays or savoring baked ham and cheese pinwheels at an Easter egg hunt, those pretty little swirls never fail to bring smiles. These muffaletta pinwheels are a party all on their own. They're inspired by the iconic New Orleans sandwich and packed with layers of ham, mortadella, salami, green olive salad, and cream cheese. Serve them for lunch or pair them with Tex-Mex layer dip on game day—trust me, kids and grown-ups can't get enough!
