Mediterranean Pinwheels

Isn’t puff pastry just the greatest invention ever? I for one, would not have the patience or skill to make it by hand. So, I am forever indebted to Pepperidge Farms and their quality premade puff pastry.

I first discovered Mediterranean Pinwheels when my friend, Jill, brought them to a tennis lady party. Of all places, she got the recipe from her local Fred Meyer Grocery Store. Super easy to make, I made about 10 rolls this past holiday season; freezing the majority to bake later and bring to different events as needed in December.

The other thing to keep in mind is that you can change the ingredients up to suit your tastes and ingredients on hand. I’m thinking a southwest chicken chipotle pinwheel would be very fun.

Mediterranean Pinwheels

Ingredients:

  • 1 package (17 oz.) puff pastry
  • 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
  • 1 cup marinated artichoke hearts, chopped
  • 1 cup frozed chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1 cup jarred red peppers, or roast your own, see below
  • 2 cups (8 oz.) shredded gruyere or swiss cheese
  • 1/2 t. salt
  • 1/2 t. pepper
  • 1/2 t. garlic powder

Cooking Directions:

  1. To roast red peppers: broil whole red peppers until skin is blackened. Watch and turn frequently until all the sides are blackened. Place in a paper bag for a few minutes. Skin will peel off effortlessly now and then you can remove the stem and seeds.
  2. Thaw puff pastry per directions and arrange on a hard, flat surface. You should have 2 sheets of puff pastry, so half the ingredients go on one sheet and half on the other.
  3. Spread the cream cheese on the puff pastry.
  4. Layer with the feta, olives, artichokes, spinach, red peppers and cheese.
  5. Sprinkle with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  6. Roll as tightly as you can.
  7. Cut the rolls into 3/8 to 1/2 inch slices. Arrange the slices and inch apart on parchment paper lined baking sheets.
  8. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or golden brown.
  9. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  10. Makes about 20 pinwheels.

Snohomish, WA is where you’ll find me, architect mom, ”drafting a life”; working from home as an architect, managing my family’s lives, forgetting to clean the house, building some crazy thing or another, sometimes cooking a great meal and always packing my kids horrible lunches.
