Description
Delicious bite-sized pinwheels filled with creamy spinach dip wrapped in flaky puff pastry, perfect for gatherings or family snacks.
Ingredients
- 1 bag frozen chopped spinach (10 oz), thawed and squeezed dry
- 1 block cream cheese (8 oz), softened
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed but still cold
- 1 egg, for brushing
Instructions
- Grab a bowl and mix the cream cheese, Parmesan, mayo, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper together. Add the drained spinach and blend everything until it looks even.
- On a floured counter, roll out the puff pastry. Spread the spinach mixture evenly over it, leaving one long side empty to seal later. Roll it up tightly like a jelly roll.
- Wrap the log in plastic wrap and put it in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Once chilled, slice the log into half-inch rounds. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Beat the egg with a splash of water and brush it on top of each pinwheel. Bake for 15-20 minutes until they puff up and turn golden.
Notes
These pinwheels are best served warm. For extra flavor, consider adding shredded cheese or herbs into the mixture.
