With Mother’s Day just around the corner I can’t think of a better recipe to serve. This recipe is so simple to make (Dad’s are you listening?)! Anyone can pull this recipe off and impress Mom! The salty prosciutto and Swiss cheese are wrapped tightly in layers of puff pastry. That are baked off to golden perfection and then topped with a sweet apricot preserve that has been simmered with thyme. It is some serious goodness!
Serve with some sweet berries and a few flowers to show Mom just how important she is! She will be beyond impressed.
Look for a good apricot preserve brand and you won’t be disappointed. Premium preserves are made from wholesome ingredients that are Non-GMO verified, have no high fructose corn syrup and no preservative or artificial coloring, and are a true house-hold favorite in my family.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of puff pastry should I use for the prosciutto, Swiss and apricot pinwheels?
You can use any store-bought puff pastry, but make sure it’s thawed properly before rolling it out for easy handling.
How do I ensure the apricot preserve and thyme mixture is the right consistency?
Simmer the apricot preserve with thyme until it thickens slightly, which usually takes about 5-10 minutes; this will help it adhere better to the pinwheels.
Is it necessary to use Swiss cheese, or can I substitute another type of cheese?
While Swiss cheese pairs well with the salty prosciutto, you can substitute it with Gruyère or even a mild cheddar if you prefer.
