Description
Flaky, buttery puff pastry swirls filled with a creamy blend of spinach and melted mozzarella—these savory spirals are easy, elegant, and irresistible for parties or cozy nights in.
Ingredients
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
1 package (8 oz) softened cream cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
(Optional) Egg wash: 1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water, for a glossy finish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, mozzarella, garlic powder, and chopped spinach until smooth.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle (≈12×9 in).
Spread the spinach‑cheese mixture evenly over the pastry, then roll it tightly from one long edge into a log.
Slice the log into ~½‑inch pinwheels and place them on the baking sheet. Brush with egg wash if using.
Bake until golden and puffed—approximately 15 minutes (or up to 20 minutes depending on your oven). Serve warm.
