Mushroom Puff Pastry Pinwheels (Printable View)

Savory mushroom pinwheels wrapped in golden, flaky pastry and topped with melting cheese.

# Ingredient List:

→ Vegetables

01 - 3 tablespoons olive oil
02 - 1 medium onion, finely chopped
03 - 16 ounces mushrooms, finely chopped
04 - 1 garlic clove, minced

→ Dairy

05 - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
06 - 1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

→ Other Ingredients

07 - 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
08 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
09 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
10 - 1 package puff pastry, thawed
11 - 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Finely chop the onion and mushrooms. Mince the garlic.
02 - Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
03 - Add the chopped mushrooms to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until moisture evaporates and mushrooms are cooked through, about 8 minutes.
04 - Add mayonnaise, salt, black pepper, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan to the mushrooms. Stir well to combine, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
05 - On a lightly floured surface, roll out two sheets of puff pastry to 12 by 16 inches each.
06 - Divide the mushroom mixture in half and spread a thin, even layer over each pastry sheet. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly on top.
07 - Starting from the long edge, roll each sheet tightly into a log.
08 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the rolls seam-side down. Generously brush the tops with beaten egg.
09 - Cut each roll crosswise into 1-inch pinwheels and place each piece flat on the prepared baking sheet.
10 - Bake in a preheated oven at 365°F for 30 to 40 minutes, until the pinwheels are golden brown and puffed.

# Supplementary Details:

01 - For best texture, allow the mushroom mixture to cool before spreading over the pastry to prevent sogginess.
