My neighbor found this in her grandmother’s recipe box from the 80s and now she makes it every time company comes over.

These oven baked 5-ingredient loaded pesto sun dried tomato cream cheese pinwheels are the kind of retro party bite that never really goes out of style. With ready-made dough and a richly flavored filling, they come together quickly and bake into crisp, golden spirals that feel right at home on a holiday buffet, game-day spread, or casual cocktail table. The combination of pesto, tangy cream cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes has a very classic appetizer appeal, and it is easy to see why a recipe like this would have been tucked into a well-used family recipe box.

Serve these pinwheels warm or at room temperature with a simple antipasto board, marinated olives, fresh fruit, or a crisp green salad if you want to turn them into a light lunch. They also pair nicely with sparkling water, white wine, or a tomato-based soup for a cozy combination. If you are setting out a spread for guests, add roasted nuts, sliced salami, and crunchy vegetables to round things out.
