Bacon and Smoked Salmon Pinwheels

A classic cocktail party appetizer with a new twist.

Ingredients

• 4 slices bacon
• 2 ounces mayonnaise
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 3 fresh chives, chopped, or more to taste
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
• 6 grape tomatoes, chopped
• 2 ounces smoked salmon, flaked

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Chop.
3. Make an aioli by combining mayonnaise, garlic, chives, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Set aside.
4. Roll the puff pastry out into a 12-inch square. Spread aioli onto the pastry quickly and top with bacon, tomatoes, and salmon. Roll up jelly roll-style and cut into 12 equal pieces. Lay on the prepared baking sheet and let chill for about 30 minutes.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 18 minutes.
