These little Bacon Gruyère Pizza Pinwheels are perfection. Great warm appetizer made with whole grain pizza dough, crispy bacon, Gruyere cheese, tomato and avocado. So easy and so delicious.

 These pizza pinwheels…oh-my-gawd! Let’s just say it’s too embarrassing to admit how many I ate. They are so good, I had some as lunch and then as dinner.

Flavor combination in this easy appetizer is wonderful. You can never go wrong with bacon and I chose smoked Gruyere cheese because I’m a sucker for smoked cheeses. You can use regular Gruyere but I do recommend smoked one for extra flavor. Extra creaminess is added by fresh avocado and some tomato to top it all off. Finally, I wrapped it all together in a pre-made Pillsbury pizza dough. I chose to use whole grain artisan dough but you can use classic pizza dough if you wish.

Very simple ingredients and very easy to put together but final result will be the hit of any party.

Ingredients

  • 1 13.8 oz pizza crust I used Pillsbury artisan
  • 6-7 strips of crispy bacon
  • 4 oz smoked Gruyere cheese grated (regular Gruyere can be used too)
  • 2 small Roma tomatoes
  • 1/2 avocado
  • salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 and grease a large baking sheet.
  • Dice bacon and set aside.
  • Cut tomatoes in half and take out the seeds with your hands. Dice tomatoes and avocado and gently mix with some salt in a small bowl.
  • Spread out pizza crust into a large rectangle, about 12 inches long and 6 inches wide. Sprinkle some salt on the crust.
  • Spread grated cheese over the crust, leaving about 1/2 inch uncovered on one of the long sides.
  • Spread bacon and tomato/avocado mixture evenly over cheese, again leaving that 1/2 inch uncovered.
  • Roll up pizza crust starting at the fully covered, long end. Gently press the uncovered end to seal the roll.
  • Cut the long roll into 12 1-inch pinwheels. Place pinwheels on a baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown.

    WHOA! These need to make it onto my appetizer plate for NYE! Plus, anything pizza is always a win in this house because Ken could live off of it for the rest of his life!

    You said the three magic words that had me salivating like Pavlov’s dog pizza-bacon-Gruyere. How can you possible go wrong. And let me tell you right up front — I don’t know how you Floridians take this year after year — we are in Venice and it took us three extra hours to get here and it was white knuckle driving the entire 19 hours. Glad that is over with but Wally World was a mad house. I bet you pray for summer!! Love your pictures — I can smell the pizza and here I’m starting a diet on the first 🙁

      Hahahaha! I found the magic combination!
      This time of year is a madhouse for sure. I am NOT looking forward for summer. You know I’m a northern girl all the way. I bake in the summer. I’m baking right now! It has not gotten below 65 yet this year.
