Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet (thawed) Puff pastry sheet
- 4 oz Herbed chèvre (goat cheese)
- 0.33 cup Dried cranberries (craisins)
- 0.33 cup (finely chopped) Walnuts
- 1 tbsp (finely chopped) Fresh parsley
- 1 large (beaten for egg wash) Egg
- 1 tbsp (for dusting) All-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust a clean surface with flour and roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet to smooth its edges.
Use a spatula to evenly spread the herbed chèvre over the puff pastry, leaving a small border (about 1/4 inch) around the edges.
Sprinkle the dried cranberries, chopped walnuts, and finely chopped parsley evenly over the goat cheese layer.
Starting from one side, tightly roll the puff pastry into a log shape. Seal the seam gently by pinching the edges.
Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 12 equal pinwheels, about 1/2 inch thick each.
Arrange the pinwheels cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Brush the tops of the pinwheels lightly with the beaten egg to promote browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pinwheels are golden brown and puffed.
Allow them to cool for 5 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.
