Description
These Mushroom and Cheese Pinwheels are a delightful, easy-to-make appetizer that’s perfect for parties, game days, or any gathering. Buttery puff pastry is wrapped around a savory mushroom and cheese filling for a mouthwatering bite-sized treat.
Ingredients
– 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
– 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 1 clove garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and the liquid has evaporated.
3. Unfold the puff pastry sheet and roll it out to a 12×12-inch square. Spread the cooked mushroom mixture evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
4. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the mushrooms.
5. Starting from one side, tightly roll up the pastry into a log. Slice the log into 12 equal pieces.
6. Place the pinwheels cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
7. Serve the Mushroom and Cheese Pinwheels warm, garnished with fresh thyme if desired.
Notes
These pinwheels can be made in advance and refrigerated or frozen before baking. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from frozen.
