Blue Cheese Pinwheels

The Ultimate Blue Cheese Pinwheels (with Roquefort, Mascarpone & Honey)

This isn’t your average appetizer. Blue cheese pinwheels – crafted with Roquefort, mascarpone, honey, crushed walnuts, rucola and wheat tortilla is an elevated bite for those who appreciate flavour and flair. It is where the sharp, tangy edge of Roquefort meets the mild creaminess of mascarpone.

 

 

The addition of honey adds just enough sweetness to balance the cheese, while crushed walnuts offer a delicate crunch that gives each bite texture and richness. Wrapped inside a soft wheat tortilla and layered with peppery rucola, the taste experience is grounded and exciting. And very different to a smoked salmon pinwheel.

This recipe is made for gatherings. It’s the kind of dish that sparks curiosity, conversation, and compliments. Despite how refined it tastes, it’s surprisingly simple to prepare – making it a perfect go-to for hosts who want something unique but easy to execute.

Once rolled, sliced, and plated, these pinwheels offer visual appeal with their swirls of cream, green, and blue. Make sure you roll them tight and use some of the cheese mix to ‘glue’ them together.

Why does this dish work so well? Balance. Roquefort can be intense on its own, but mascarpone smooths the edges. Honey lifts the flavour while the rucola cuts through the richness. And the walnuts? They bring a satisfying crunch that keeps every bite interesting.

 

 

Even better, you can make these blue cheese pinwheels ahead and keep them in the fridge in an air-tight container until you need them. It gets better as the flavours meld, making it ideal for picnics, brunches, or even lunchboxes. Whether you are serving it at a dinner party or eating it as finger food during the game, it delivers on both taste and looks.

Versatile, delicious, and unforgettable – this pinwheel isn’t just food. It’s a small, savoury celebration.
