Description
Delicious bite-sized pinwheels filled with creamy spinach dip, perfect for gatherings and snacks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bag frozen chopped spinach (10 oz), thawed and thoroughly squeezed dry
- 1 block cream cheese (8 oz), softened to room temperature
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan (about 50 g)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed but still cold
- 1 large egg (for brushing), beaten with a splash of water
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese, Parmesan, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper until well combined. Add spinach and mix until even.
- Flour your counter and roll out the puff pastry. Spread the spinach mixture on it, leaving one long side empty to seal later. Roll it up tightly like a jelly roll.
- Wrap the log in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 400°F while you wait.
- Take the log out and slice it into 1/2-inch rounds. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Beat the egg with water and brush it on top. Bake for 15–20 minutes until puffed and golden.
Notes
Ensure the spinach is well drained to avoid sogginess. Keep the puff pastry cold until baking for best results.
