Description
Warm, golden pinwheels filled with a creamy spinach dip make for a crowd-pleasing appetizer, perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bag frozen chopped spinach (10 oz), thawed and thoroughly squeezed dry
- 1 block cream cheese (8 oz), softened at room temperature
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan (about 50 g)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (about 60 g)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Pinch red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed but still cold (about 250 g)
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash, with a splash of water)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine cream cheese, Parmesan, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix until smooth. Add the spinach and mix thoroughly.
- Flour your counter and roll out the puff pastry. Spread the spinach mixture evenly over the pastry, leaving one long side empty. Roll it up tightly like a jelly roll.
- Wrap the log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Remove the log from the fridge, slice into half-inch rounds, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with egg wash.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes or until pinwheels are puffed and golden brown.
Notes
To keep pinwheels fresh, store them covered at room temperature for 3-4 hours, refrigerated for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
