Method:
1) Blend together the avocado, cream cheese, lemon juice and Tabasco sauce in a food processor until smooth, season and taste to check.
2) Slice bread lengthwise (Pullman slice), use a rolling pin to flatten slightly, and then remove the crusts. Use a pallet knife to spread the cream cheese paste over one side of the bread, ensuring it is even and right to the edges.
3) Starting at the short end, tightly roll the slice into a pinwheel and then wrap with plastic wrap, tie off the ends and chill approx. 1 hour to set the cheese.
4) Remove the plastic and cut the roll into 1 cm slices. Arrange on a suitable platter and garnish as desired.

What other fillings could you use? Think about adding a central garnish for colour and texture such as an asparagus spear, or layer smoked salmon, fresh herbs or roast capsicum over the spread.
What other spread could you use? The list is endless, and includes pesto, baba ghanoush, and cream cheese mixed with other herbs or flavours.
It is very important that the pinwheel sandwich is very precise and clean or it won’t look any good.
