Notes
Pro Tips: For clean, neat slices, use a sharp serrated knife and a gentle sawing motion. Chilling the rolled log for 15-20 minutes before slicing can make this even easier. To make these ahead, assemble the swirls and freeze them unbaked on a tray; once solid, transfer to a bag. Bake from frozen, adding 5-7 extra minutes. For extra flavor, try adding a tablespoon of finely diced prosciutto or sun-dried tomatoes.
