Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Puff pastry sheet
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 50 grams Grated cheddar cheese
- 3 slices Cooked bacon, finely chopped
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely sliced
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 piece Egg, beaten
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface.
In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, grated cheddar cheese, chopped bacon, green onions, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
Starting from one long side, roll the puff pastry tightly into a log. Use your fingers to gently press the edge to seal the seam.
Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 evenly-sized slices, approximately 1-1.5 cm thick.
Place the pinwheels flat on the baking sheet, spacing them at least 2 cm apart.
Brush the tops of the pinwheels with the beaten egg to give them a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Let the pinwheels cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm or at room temperature.
