Serving Suggestions:
1. Serve the 'Cheese & Caramelised Onion Pinwheels' as an alternative to a bread roll or baguette with a main meal.
I served mine with a mixed Mediterranean style salad, crumbed fish and a simple Lemon Vinaigrette.
Which is made by mixing in a jug until combined and thick :
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup Olive oil
1/2 teaspoon French Mustard
and 1 teaspoon sugar
2. Serve with soup.
3. Cut smaller width pieces before baking, and serve as canapés with cheese.
4. Or simply devour the pinwheels on their own, warm with lashings of butter as a tasty brunch or lunch.
