Golden, cheesy, and addictively delicious! These easy puff pastry pinwheels are packed with garlicky spinach and three cheeses, rolled up and baked until perfectly crisp and bubbly. They take just 15 minutes to assemble and are guaranteed to impress!
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cups fresh spinach, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 oz light cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella
- ½ cup grated Parmesan
- ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes, optional
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- ½ tsp Garlic powder
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Equipment
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Mix cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, fresh spinach, garlic powder, salt + pepper.
- Spread mixture over puff pastry.
- Roll tightly into a log and freeze for 10 minutes.
- Slice into ½-inch pinwheels and place on a baking sheet.
- Brush with egg wash.
- Bake 15–18 minutes until golden.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- Drain your spinach well to avoid soggy pinwheels. Squeezing out all moisture gives the best flaky, crisp result.
- Freeze the rolled log for 10 minutes before slicing — this helps create clean, bakery-style swirls.
- For best flavor and puff, use all-butter puff pastry (Trader Joe’s or Pepperidge Farm work great).
- Add-ins that work well: sun-dried tomatoes, feta, Gruyère, or jalapeños.
- These pinwheels can be assembled ahead, frozen, then sliced and baked straight from the freezer.
- Serve with marinara, ranch, garlic aioli, pesto, or Caesar for dipping.
