Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces puff pastry sheets
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 piece egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Lightly dust your work surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry sheets, if necessary, to ensure they are evenly rectangular.
In a medium bowl, mix together the mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and parsley until well combined.
Spread an even layer of the cheese mixture over each puff pastry sheet, leaving a 1/2-inch border along the edges.
Starting from one of the longer edges of the pastry sheet, roll it up tightly into a log. Repeat with the second puff pastry sheet.
Using a sharp knife, slice each log into 1/2-inch thick pinwheels and place them flat on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each pinwheel.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg and water together to make an egg wash. Brush the tops of each pinwheel with the egg wash for a golden-brown finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the pinwheels are puffed and golden.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your cheesy pinwheels as a delicious appetizer or snack!
