Baking is like Fishing…

…in that a bad day fishing is still better than a good day at work. Wouldn’t that depend on how avid a fishing enthusiast you are? I really like baking, so I’m still glad that I tried this recipe. I thought it was nearly full-on blech but my daughter gave it the thumbs up and is already finished with pinwheel #2.

I fully blame the cook, not the recipe. Note the original recipe’s photo on top, mine on the bottom:

The only thing I changed in the recipe was to use cheddar cheese instead of Swiss. I just think they needed to bake longer than 9 minutes, perhaps. These Ham and Cheese Pinwheels are short on effort and have an even shorter list of ingredients:

1 can of flaky crescent rolls

Grated cheddar cheese

Sliced ham (I used the Black Forrest ham from Trader Joe’s)

cream cheese and dijon mustard

Here’s what I’d like to try soon, using home made bread dough:
