Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Frozen puff pastry sheet, thawed
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp All-purpose flour (for rolling)
- 1 large Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a clean surface, lightly flour the area and roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet into a rectangle, approximately 10x12 inches.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, fresh spinach, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the spinach is evenly coated and the mixture is well combined.
Spread the spinach mixture evenly over the sheet of puff pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch border along the edges.
Starting from one of the long sides, tightly roll the puff pastry into a log. Ensure the seam is on the bottom to seal properly.
Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 16 even pieces, about 3/4-inch thick each.
Place the pinwheels flat on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Brush the tops of each pinwheel lightly with the beaten egg to help them develop a golden color when baked.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the pinwheels are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your warm, flaky, and cheesy spinach pinwheels!
