Description
Deliciously flaky puff pastry filled with a creamy, garlicky spinach-cream cheese mixture, perfect for parties and gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bag frozen chopped spinach (10 oz), thawed and squeezed dry
- 1 block cream cheese (8 oz), softened
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed but cold
- 1 egg, for brushing
Instructions
- In a bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Stir in Parmesan, mayo, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until combined.
- Transfer the thawed spinach to a clean towel and squeeze out all the moisture. Add the dry spinach to the cream cheese mixture and mix until uniform.
- Roll out puff pastry into a 12×10-inch rectangle, spread spinach mixture, and roll tightly from the filled side. Seal the edge and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F, slice the log into 1/2-inch rounds, brush with egg, and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
Make sure to dry the spinach thoroughly to prevent soggy pinwheels. These can be made ahead and frozen before baking.
