Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 10 oz Frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 large Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets to about 10x12 inches.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, thawed and dried spinach, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and evenly combined.
Spread half of the spinach mixture evenly over each puff pastry sheet, leaving about 1/2 inch of border around the edges.
Starting from the longer edge, roll each sheet into a tight log. Use a sharp knife to cut each log into 1/2-inch slices.
Arrange the pinwheel slices on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Brush the tops of the pinwheels with the beaten egg to help them turn golden brown during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the pinwheels are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
