The Prosciutto Fig Pinwheels has the perfect flavor profile with mustard, gruyere cheese, figs and prosciutto cheese. I originally tried this recipe with fig jam and the pinwheels melted and crystallized to the sheet pan, mainly because the sugar in the jam. So the second round I tried with whole figs that I sliced and then places with in the puff pastry.
