  • 2 cups grated Gruyère or sharp cheddar cheese about 5 oz

  • Cut logs into 1⁄2-inch slices and place pinwheels cut-side up on the baking sheets, spaced 1-inch apart.
  • Bake for 18 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and immediately garnish with chopped parsley. Serve warm.
