Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
- 120 grams cream cheese
- 100 grams shredded cheddar cheese
- 100 grams deli ham
- 50 grams baby spinach leaves
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle approximately 10x12 inches (25x30 cm).
Spread the cream cheese evenly over the entire surface of the puff pastry.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Lay the slices of deli ham across the surface, covering it completely.
Distribute the baby spinach leaves on top of the ham, creating an even layer.
Starting from one of the shorter ends of the rectangle, roll the puff pastry tightly into a log shape. Ensure it is rolled evenly to maintain consistent pinwheels.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 1/2-inch (1.25 cm) thick rounds. You should get approximately 16 pinwheels.
Transfer the pinwheels to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart.
Brush the tops and sides of each pinwheel with the egg wash for a golden-brown finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Remove the pinwheels from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.
