Reuben Pinwheels
6 years ago
One of my ladies groups met at my house. It's October. It's Oktoberfest season! Our food was themed accordingly! For my contribution I made Reuben pinwheels. The ladies pronounced them good. I'm not a fan of pinwheels -- I think only Mexican ingredients belong in a flour tortilla -- but that's me! They were all eaten up!
Reuben Pinwheels
Reuben Sandwich Pinwheels
5 soft flour torillas
8 oz. cream cheese
1 c. shredded Swiss cheese
1/4 c. Russian dressing
15 thin sliced corned beef (I used deli beef)
1/4 c. sauerkraut, drained and squeezed dry
With a mixer, mix cream cheese, Swiss cheese and Russian dressing until creamy and spreadable.
Lay out tortillas and spread 1/5 of the cream cheese mix on each tortilla.
Evenly top each with 3 slices of corned beef.
Evenly top with 1/5 of the sauerkraut.
Roll up tortillas. Not too tightly. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
Slice logs into 1/2 inch pinwheels (discard the end pieces).
Plate, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Comments (11)Snack Mix is a great idea, though carb heavy. If you have a scoop, or even a ladle, that you can put in the bowl to keep hands out, that would be great. You can even use a large party cup as a scoop and smaller paper cups to put the mix in. Or you can prepackage in snack sized bags. Going on a retro theme you could also do Rice Krispy Treats. Just cut them on the small size because they disappear fast. Sandwiches should be okay for up to four hours if they haven't been handled (i.e., make using gloves), and you've avoided cross contamination. Mayonnaise used to be an issue but the jarred kind uses pasteurized eggs. Think about what works on a picnic. Cheese spread and olives. Deli ham or turkey (pinwheels are also retro and go well because they're bite sized). Butter and cucumbers or watercress (tea sandwich). Just avoid fish which degrades really fast, and anything else you think of that spoils easily. Keep plenty of plastic wrap to keep them fresh (not stale) in the a/c, and see if the hotel can provide you with some pans of ice to put the trays on. Still carb heavy, though. BTW, in making finger sandwiches, the easy way to do large quantities is to get the square kind of sandwich bread (pullman pan baked--no dome top) in all varieties from a bakery, uncut. Use your longest bread knife to cut the crust off all sides then to slice the loaf lengthwise. Then you can make a few big long sandwiches and cut them to serving size, rather than having to make more long ones. If you do the math, it looks like it should come out the same, but it's really a lot less work making one big one, than a few small ones that end up cut to the same size and number. Can you have a microwave or crockpot, or two? If so, you could continue the retro idea with cocktail weenies (still popular!), or just do meatballs. You could even do a fondue or chocolate dip....See MoreAppetizers for Progressive Dinner - Thoughts?
Comments (21)Sounds like fun. I'm caught up on the 'mains'. But that could be divided up into an Italian style meal. App nibbles, a soup, a small pasta dish...like a ravioli, something seafood, then the 'main'. Usually beef with a veg. Something sweet, then fruit and cheese with a cocktail. That is 7 homes. Would not work here as most of my friends are horrid cooks. NYC is small dwellings for most even with decent jobs. Just a few of us have the room to host. It does work out as many that can't cook cover the wine etc. If me i would do puff pastry as i've had fun with it recently. So many different ways to use it. I have this one bookmarked, puff pastry pops I did pesto parm pinwheels, the bacon parm straws, squares with grueyere, leek and baby ,artichoke hearts, (in the grocery freezer section), and the big hit were the pops, i skewered fresh apple and pear, thin small slices and used a mild blue. cheese. Prepped ahead and kept cold and covered on the baking trays so it was a fast cook....See MoreIdeas for snacks?
Comments (24)One of my favorites is "cheese thumbprints". They are like really good cheese crackers, easy to make and can be filled with whatever you like. I usually fill half with hot pepper jelly and half with apple butter or half an olive. I use this recipe: Savory Cheddar and Jalapeno Jelly Cookies from Rick Rodgers Makes about 4 1/2 dozen 8 ounces extra-sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded (about 2 1/2 cups) 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, softened 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/3 cup jalapeno jelly, or sub apple butter or chutney Place cheese and butter in a food processor (could be creamed by hand or mixer); add flour and process until the mixture forms a soft dough. Gather up the dough and divide into two flat disks. Wrap in wax paper and freeze until chilled, about 45 minutes. Position two racks in the center and top third of the oven and preheat to 400°. Line two baking sheets with parchment or use nonstick sheets. Using 1 teaspoon dough for each, roll the dough into small balls and place 1 inch apart on the sheets. Bake 5 minutes. Remove from the oven. Using the handle of a wooden spoon or 1/2-inch-thick dowel, poke an indentation in each cookie. Place the jelly in a small plastic bag and force it down into one corner. Snip off the corner of the bag to make a small hole. Pipe the jelly into the indentations. Return to the oven and bake, switching the positions of the sheets from top to bottom halfway through baking, until the tops are very lightly browned, about 10 minutes. I've found that a small melon baller works well for making the indentations, and I use my home made Habanero Gold to fill them, but Tomato Marmalade or whipped cream cheese with some pesto or flavored cream cheese is nice too. A tiny sweet potato biscuit with a sliver of good ham and some honey mustard is always nice. I've also made tiny crustless quiche in muffin tins, and I've made little two bite cream puffs and filled them with chicken salad or reuben type filling. And, of course, there's the good old "block of cream cheese covered with shrimp cocktail or hot pepper jelly" kind of thing, but it's kind of messy and not easy to carry around with just a napkin. I love the appetizer type snacks, I could make an entire meal out of a bite of this and a bite of that. Most of all, have fun! Annie...See More
