Variations:
- Nutty Addition: Add chopped pecans, walnuts, or slivered almonds for an extra crunch and nutty flavor.
- Sweet Twist: Drizzle a little honey over the cream cheese mixture for a hint of sweetness.
- Spicy Kick: Include a pinch of red pepper flakes or chopped jalapeños for a spicy version.
- Cheese Swap: Substitute feta with goat cheese, blue cheese, or shredded sharp cheddar for different flavor profiles.
- Tortilla Variety: Use spinach or sun-dried tomato tortillas for added color and taste.
- Herb Mix-Up: Replace parsley with fresh dill, cilantro, or basil for a unique herbal twist.
- Vegetable Boost: Incorporate finely diced bell peppers or grated carrots for extra texture and nutrients.
Tips:
- For easier slicing, chill the rolls in the refrigerator longer or briefly freeze them for 10-15 minutes before cutting.
- Use a sharp serrated knife to ensure clean cuts and well-formed pinwheels.
- To make ahead, prepare the pinwheels the night before, wrap them tightly, and slice just before serving.
- Serve with a dipping sauce like honey mustard or cranberry sauce for added flavor.
- Experiment with proportions to suit your taste—add more cranberries for sweetness or more herbs for a fresh flavor boost.
