Cheesy Spinach Pinwheels
🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need:
- The Flaky Pastry Shell:
- 1 Sheet of puff pastry or crescent dough: Thawed and rolled flat to create the perfect canvas for your filling layers. 🥐
- The Velvet Cream Blend Base:
- ¼ cup Sour cream: Adds a perfect touch of signature tang and smooth creaminess to bind the filling together.
- 4 oz Cream cheese: Thoroughly softened to room temperature so it spreads smoothly without tearing the pastry. 🧀
- The Gooey Cheese Trio:
- ½ cup Shredded mozzarella cheese: For that legendary, stretchy cheese-pull perfection in every single bite.
- ¼ cup Grated Parmesan cheese: Adds a bold, salty, and sharp Italian umami depth.
- The Fresh Garden Blend:
- 1 cup Fresh baby spinach: Finely chopped and wilted (or use frozen spinach, thoroughly thawed and squeezed completely dry!) 🍃
- ½ cup Canned artichoke hearts: Drained, patted dry, and finely chopped to give that classic dip texture. 🫙
- The Seasoning Boost:
- ½ tsp Garlic powder & ¼ tsp Red pepper flakes: For an authentic savory punch and a very subtle hint of back-end warmth 🧄🌶️.
- A pinch of sea salt and cracked black pepper: To taste.
