Ingredients

Scale
  1. 1 sheet (245g) puff pastry, thawed

  2. 7 oz (200g) cream cheese (or goat cheese), softened

  3. ½ cup (60g) shredded white cheese (mozzarella or Gruyère)

  4. ¼ cup (25g) grated Parmesan cheese

  5. 1 cup (150g) frozen spinach, thawed & well-drained

  6. ½ teaspoon garlic powder (or 1 small minced garlic clove) (optional)

  7. ¼ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

  8. ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven & Prepare Baking Tray:
    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

  • Make the Filling:
    In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded white cheese, Parmesan, and garlic (if using). Stir in the well-drained spinach, salt, and pepper until smooth.

  • Assemble the Pinwheels:
    Lay the puff pastry sheet flat on a lightly floured surface. Evenly spread the cheese and spinach mixture, leaving a 1-inch border on one edge.

  • Roll & Slice:
    Tightly roll the puff pastry from the opposite edge of the border. Press to seal, then slice into ½-inch-thick rounds using a sharp knife.

  • Bake:
    Arrange pinwheels on the prepared baking tray, leaving space between them. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

 

  • Cool & Serve:
    Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as an appetizer or snack!

Notes

  • If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, you can use fresh minced garlic.

 

  • To make these ahead of time, assemble the pinwheels, then freeze them before baking. Bake straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
