Ingredients

  • 1 each egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 cup shredded Muenster cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 each sheet puff pastry (thawed in the refrigerator)
  • 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach (thawed and squeezed very, very dry)
  • 1 each Flour (for dusting)

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded Muenster cheese, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, and the thoroughly dried spinach. Mix until well combined.
  • On a clean, lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet to an even thickness of about 1/8 inch.
  • Spread the cheese and spinach mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a small border. Roll the pastry into a tight log and slice into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create the egg wash.
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the pinwheels, brush with egg wash, and sprinkle extra Parmesan if desired. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  • Let the pinwheels cool for a few minutes before serving. Best enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
