Puff pastry is amazing because it's so versatile. It can be easily used to prepare both sweet and savory pastries. This specific pastry has an appetizing mix of cream cheese, salmon, and spinach as a filling. A batch of 12 pinwheels is ready in just 30 minutes, so you'll be able to enjoy it as a nutritious snack for days.
Ingredients for Salmon and Cheese Pinwheels:
Method of preparing the Salmon and Cheese Pinwheels:
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Squeeze the excess water out of the thawed spinach and place it into a mixing bowl. Add the cream cheese, salt, and black pepper to the spinach and mix thoroughly.
-
Unroll the sheet of puff pastry and spread the cream cheese mixture over it. Top it with the salmon and cheddar, and roll the pastry into a long sausage.
-
Place the pastry into the freezer for 5-10 minutes. This will make it easier to cut later. Cut the pastry roll into 12 equal parts.
-
Arrange those on the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. They should be golden on top.
-
Sprinkle with sesame seeds on top and serve fresh.
Chef's Tip:
Refrigerate the salmon pinwheels in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
