Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package gluten-free puff pastry sheets
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves, washed and dried
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the gluten-free puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface to smooth out any creases.
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the spinach leaves until they are wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let them cool.
In a bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, sautéed spinach, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spread the cheese and spinach mixture evenly over the surface of the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border on one long edge.
Starting from the long side with the filling, carefully roll the pastry into a tight log. Seal the edge without filling using a bit of water to help it stick.
Slice the log into 1/2-inch thick rounds and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Brush the tops of the pinwheels with the beaten egg to give them a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pinwheels are golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
