Description
Mushroom and cheese pinwheels are a savory, golden-baked appetizer or snack that’s simple to prepare yet packed with flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups finely chopped mushrooms (such as cremini or button)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ teaspoon thyme or Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ¾ cup shredded cheese (Gruyère, mozzarella, or sharp cheddar work well)
- 1 egg, beaten for egg wash
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the mushrooms and cook until they release moisture and become golden brown, about 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper, and cook for another minute. Let the mixture cool slightly.
- On a lightly floured surface, unfold the puff pastry sheet and roll it gently to even out the surface. Spread the cooled mushroom mixture evenly across the pastry, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle cheese evenly over the top.
- Carefully roll the pastry into a tight log, starting from one long side. Press the edge to seal. Slice the log into about ½-inch rounds and place them flat on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops lightly with the beaten egg. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before serving warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- These pinwheels are great for parties or potlucks.
- Serve alongside soup or salad for a complete meal.
