A delicious spin on classic spinach dip, wrapped in flaky puff pastry for the perfect appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (10 oz) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed but kept cold
  • 1 large egg, beaten with a splash of water for brushing

Instructions

  1. Combine the Creamy Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  2. Prepare the Spinach: Make sure that the thawed spinach is bone dry. Wrap it in paper towels and squeeze thoroughly to remove excess moisture. Fold the dried spinach into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
  3. Roll Out the Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet. Spread the spinach mixture evenly over the pastry, leaving one long edge bare for sealing.
  4. Create the Log: Starting from the side with the filling, roll the puff pastry tightly like a jelly roll. Once rolled, wrap it in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to help it firm up.
  5. Preheat and Prepare for Baking: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Slice the Spinach Log: After chilling, take out the log and slice it into 1/2-inch rounds. Place each round on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space in between.
  7. Brush for a Golden Finish: Brush the tops of each pinwheel with the beaten egg wash for that beautiful golden crust.
  8. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the pinwheels are puffed and a lovely golden brown.
  9. Cool and Serve: Let the pinwheels cool briefly on the baking sheet before serving them. Watch as they disappear faster than you can say ‘delicious!’

Notes

Ensure the spinach is completely dry before mixing to prevent a soggy filling. You can prepare the log up to a day in advance.
