While the thought of pinwheel always reminds us of jam or cream lined ones, here we present a very innovative Pesto Corn and Black Olives Pinwheel Sandwich.
Buttered bread is first lined with pesto, a classic spread of walnut, basil and garlic, and then topped with corn and olives, before being rolled up and sliced.
This savoury snack is a pretty sight to behold and even more interesting to munch on! Make sure you serve it immediately.
Have a go at other pinwheels like Pinwheel Sandwiches , Date and Chocolate Pinwheels , Vanilla and Chocolate Pinwheels , Jam Pinwheels and Carrot Pinwheels which are equally appealing.
