Description
Fancy-looking bite-sized spinach dip pinwheels made with flaky puff pastry and creamy spinach filling, perfect for gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (10 oz) bag frozen chopped spinach — thawed and squeezed dry
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese — room temperature
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan — freshly grated
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- A pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 sheet puff pastry — thawed but cold
- 1 egg + splash of water — beaten for egg wash
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add Parmesan, mayo, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix until combined.
- Squeeze the thawed spinach until it releases no water. Add it to the bowl and fold until evenly distributed.
- Lightly flour your counter and roll the puff pastry into a rectangle, leaving one long edge clear. Spread the spinach filling over the pastry, leaving that edge bare.
- Tightly roll the pastry like a jelly roll from the long side. Press the seam to seal, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Unwrap and slice the log into 1/2-inch rounds. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Whisk the egg with a splash of water and brush the tops. Bake for 15–20 minutes until puffed and golden. Cool briefly before serving.
