These Puff Pastry Garlic n' Herb Pinwheels are a quick appetizer perfect for a crowd or party. They are made with store-bought puff pastry dough so they are super easy and kid friendly. If you love garlic bread, you will LOVE these pinwheels!
- 1 Package Puff Pastry Dough (2 sheets)
- 1 Stick Salted Butter (add 1/2 tsp. salt if using unsalted)
- 8 Cloves Garlic (Minced)
- 1/2 Cup Grated Parmigiano Reggiano
- 1/2 Cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 Tbsp. Chopped Fresh Herbs I used parsley, chives, basil and thyme.
- 1/4 Tsp. Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Melt butter, red pepper flakes and garlic in a saucepan on LOW heat for at least 10 minutes. Take off heat and mix in fresh herbs.
Brush sheets of pastry dough generously with butter, garlic and herb mixture. Sprinkle with half of the cheese and half of the breadcrumbs.
Repeat with other sheet of dough.
Bake for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and brush tops with remaining butter mixture and serve hot.
You could easily replace butter with extra virgin olive oil for a healthier option.
Use any herbs you like!
Make sure your puff pastry dough is cold going into the oven otherwise they wont puff up nicely.
Pop the pinwheel log (after its rolled) into the freezer for 5-10 minutes. This will allow the dough to puff up nicely AND allow you to slice your pinwheels easily!
