Ingredients

• 1 sheet Puff pastry sheet
• 200 grams Mushrooms (finely chopped)
• 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 75 grams Cream cheese (softened)
• 30 grams Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 large Egg (beaten for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the finely chopped mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and it evaporates, about 5-6 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the salt, black pepper, and fresh parsley. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 5

Once cooled, mix in the cream cheese and grated Parmesan cheese until the filling is creamy and well combined.

Step 6

Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Spread the mushroom filling evenly over the pastry, leaving about 1 cm (1/2 inch) margin around the edges.

Step 7

Carefully roll the puff pastry sheet into a tight log. Seal the edge by lightly brushing with water and pressing it to adhere.

Step 8

Place the pastry log seam-side down and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to firm up, making it easier to slice.

Step 9

Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 1.5 cm (approximately 1/2 inch) thick pinwheels. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space in between.

Step 10

Brush the tops of the pinwheels with the beaten egg to give them a golden, shiny finish.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pinwheels are puffed and golden brown.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your crispy mushroom pinwheels!
