Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 2 tbsp ranch seasoning mix
- 8 slices sliced deli turkey
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves
- 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Take the puff pastry sheets out of the freezer and allow them to thaw at room temperature for about 10 minutes, or until they are pliable but still cool.
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese with the ranch seasoning mix until smooth and well combined.
On a clean, floured surface, unfold one puff pastry sheet. Use a rolling pin to gently smooth and extend it slightly, ensuring an even surface.
Spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Layer 4 slices of deli turkey over the cream cheese, followed by 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup of baby spinach leaves, and half of the diced red bell pepper.
Starting from one of the longer edges, tightly roll up the puff pastry into a log. Pinch the seam to seal it and place the roll seam-side down.
Repeat the steps with the second puff pastry sheet and the remaining filling ingredients.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the outside of each log lightly with the egg wash to ensure a golden and shiny finish.
Using a sharp, serrated knife, slice each log into 8 even pieces, approximately 1-inch thick.
Arrange the slices cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each pinwheel to allow for expansion during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the pinwheels are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a serving plate.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your Perfect Pinwheels!
