Spinach Cheese Pinwheels

These appetizers are so easy even your boyfriend can make them! J needed something to make for his office Thanksgiving party so I helped him prepare these and he baked them all by himself. Spinach and cheese is always a crowd pleasing combination. It looks like you put a ton of work into making these, but in reality it's simple and you won't have to worry about doing a million things to make one dish. Try making these as an appetizer for Thanksgiving, they won't disappoint.


Ingredients
Frozen puff pastry
10 oz package frozen spinach
1/2 cup Gruyere (or Gouda cheese)
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon water
1 egg

Directions

  1. Defrost one sheet of puff pastry and the package of frozen spinach. 
  2. Shred Gruyere cheese. 
  3. Squeeze out all the excess water from the defrosted spinach. 
  4. In a bowl mix together both cheeses, spinach, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. 
  5. Whisk together egg and water. 
  6. Flour your work space and roll out the puff pastry sheet into a 12 by 12 sheet. Brush egg wash over the entire puff pastry. 
  7. Evenly distribute cheese and spinach mixture over the puff pastry leaving a small border without the mixture. 
  8. Carefully roll the puff pastry and pinch the seal closed. Wrap in plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. 
  9. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. 
  10. Take roll out of plastic wrap and cut into 1/2 inch slices. Place on baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray and bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
