Ingredients

• 1 sheet Puff pastry sheet
• 100 grams Cream cheese
• 50 grams Grated cheddar cheese
• 3 slices Cooked bacon, finely chopped
• 2 stalks Green onions, finely sliced
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 piece Egg, beaten
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Unroll the puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, grated cheddar cheese, chopped bacon, green onions, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 5

Starting from one long side, roll the puff pastry tightly into a log. Use your fingers to gently press the edge to seal the seam.

Step 6

Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 evenly-sized slices, approximately 1-1.5 cm thick.

Step 7

Place the pinwheels flat on the baking sheet, spacing them at least 2 cm apart.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

Step 10

Let the pinwheels cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm or at room temperature.
