Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry sheets (thawed)
- 225 grams cream cheese
- 120 grams baby spinach leaves
- 180 grams thinly sliced deli ham
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- 1 piece egg (beaten for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese with garlic powder, onion powder, and dried Italian herbs. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Carefully roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface.
Spread half the cream cheese mixture evenly over one sheet of puff pastry, leaving about 1cm (1/2 inch) along the edges.
Layer half the slices of ham evenly over the cream cheese, followed by half the spinach leaves.
Starting from one edge, tightly roll the pastry sheet into a log. Pinch the seam to seal it, and repeat with the second pastry sheet and the remaining ingredients.
Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled logs into 1.5cm (1/2 inch) thick pinwheels.
Place the pinwheels flat on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2.5cm (1 inch) apart.
Brush each pinwheel lightly with the beaten egg wash to ensure a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the pinwheels are cooked through.
Allow the pinwheels to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best flavor.
