Savory Sun-Dried Tomato and Cheese Pinwheels

You already know I love a good pinwheel recipe, but I’ve especially been loving sun-dried tomato and cheese pinwheels this summer! Instead of tortillas, I use puff pastry, which makes these super flaky, buttery, and a little crunchy. You can use any cheese you like in this recipe, but I like a mixture of feta and cheddar cheese here. Even better, you can serve the pinwheels warm or at room temp!

Ingredients

2 cups - shredded sharp white cheddar cheese
1 cup - crumbled feta cheese
1 cup - roughly chopped sun-dried tomatoes
4 teaspoons - minced garlic
½ cup - chopped fresh basil
Kosher salt & black pepper
2 sheets - puff pastry
1 - egg

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Line two thick sheet pans with parchment paper.
Combine the sharp white cheddar, feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and basil in a medium bowl. Add a pinch of Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste.
Next, roll one sheet of puff pastry into a 10×12-inch rectangle. Spread half of the filling over the puff pastry sheet, leaving a 1/4-inch gap on the edges. Starting with the long end towards you, tightly roll the puff pastry into a long log. Repeat with the remaining puff pastry sheet and filling.
Freeze the pinwheel logs for about 20 minutes or refrigerate for 30-45 minutes. Once the logs are chilled and firm, use a sharp serrated knife to cut the logs into 1/2-inch slices. Line the pinwheels on the prepared sheet pans 2 inches apart. Refrigerate the remaining pinwheels for later.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 Tablespoon (15 milliliters) of water to make an egg wash. Using a pastry brush, brush the pinwheels with the egg wash.
Bake for 15-16 minutes until the pinwheels are flaky and golden-brown. Repeat with the remaining pinwheels and serve them warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
