Puff pastry pesto pinwheels are easy puff pastry appetizers made with only four ingredients: pastry, pesto, and two kinds of cheese! Make ahead and freeze for holiday parties!

📝 Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 3 tablespoons pesto sauce
  • 1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese, (grated)
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, (grated)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Thaw a sheet of puff pastry in the refrigerator overnight. Carefully unroll it into a square leaving it on the parchment paper it was wrapped in. If using the block-style puff pastry, roll it into a square about 10 inches (25 cm.) wide. See the tips in the post about working with gluten-free puff pastry.
  2. 2Spread pesto sauce evenly over the pastry.
  3. 3Sprinkle with grated Mozzarella cheese, then Parmesan cheese,
  4. 4Roll tightly into a log, brush with melted butter, then wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes. (Chilling the dough makes it easier to slice.)
  5. 5Remove from the fridge and use a sharp or serrated knife to cut into slices about 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) thick.
  6. 6Place spiral-side up about 2 inches (5 cm.) on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
  7. 7Bake until flaky, puffed, and golden brown, about 18 minutes at 375°F. Serve warm or at room temperature. Be prepared to watch them quickly disappear!
