Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
- 0.75 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon water
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth out any creases.
In a small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, chopped rosemary, and garlic powder.
Sprinkle the cheese and herb mixture evenly over the puff pastry sheet.
Starting at one short edge, tightly roll the puff pastry into a log shape. Wrap the log in plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up.
While the log chills, whisk the egg and water together in a small bowl to create an egg wash.
Remove the log from the freezer and use a sharp knife to slice it into 12 even pinwheels, about 1/2 inch thick each.
Place the pinwheels on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced about 2 inches apart.
Brush the tops of the pinwheels with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pinwheels are puffed and golden brown.
Allow the pinwheels to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm or at room temperature.
