Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 slices cooked bacon, chopped
- 2 fresh jalapenos, diced
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 puff pastry sheets, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapenos, chopped bacon, and garlic powder. Mix until evenly distributed.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one sheet of puff pastry. If it’s already flat, skip this step.
- Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Starting from one end, tightly roll the puff pastry into a log. Slice the log into 1-inch pieces with a sharp knife.
- Place the pinwheels flat-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out slightly.
- Lightly brush the tops of the pinwheels with the beaten egg to help them brown beautifully.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pinwheels are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let the pinwheels cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a milder flavor, remove the seeds from the jalapenos. Chill the puff pastry if it becomes too soft while rolling. Customize the spice level by adjusting the amount of jalapenos.
