Description
Delightful, vibrant pinwheels filled with creamy cheese and tangy cranberries, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup cranberries (dried or fresh, chopped)
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, or rosemary), chopped
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Unroll the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and roll out slightly for even thickness.
- In a medium bowl, blend softened cream cheese with crumbled feta and chopped herbs until smooth.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the pastry, leaving a half-inch border along the edges.
- Distribute cranberries evenly across the cream cheese mixture.
- Carefully roll the pastry tightly from the long edge, then slice into ½-inch pieces.
- Arrange the pinwheel slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush the tops with beaten egg to achieve a golden color.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown; let cool before serving.
Notes
For a vegan option, swap cream cheese for a plant-based alternative and skip the egg wash.
