Description
Delicious and easy-to-make Cheesy Spinach and Artichoke Pinwheels combine creamy cheese, tender spinach, and tangy artichoke hearts wrapped in flaky crescent roll dough—perfect as an appetizer or snack for any occasion.
Ingredients
1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
2 cups baby spinach, chopped
1 cup sour cream
⅓ cup mayonnaise
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan
2 (8-ounce) tubes crescent rolls
1 large egg, beaten
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine chopped artichoke hearts, spinach, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, mozzarella, and Parmesan until well mixed.
- On a lightly floured surface, unroll crescent dough from both tubes and seal perforations to form two large sheets.
- Spread the spinach and artichoke mixture evenly over both dough sheets, covering the entire surface.
- Roll up each dough sheet tightly into a log, then slice each log into 1-inch pinwheels.
- Place pinwheels cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet and brush tops with beaten egg for a golden, shiny crust.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the pinwheels after baking and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
These pinwheels make about 24 pieces.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes to retain crispiness; avoid microwaving.
Can be frozen after slicing; bake from frozen adding a few extra minutes.
Variations include adding cooked bacon or pancetta, swapping mozzarella for pepper jack, or adding sun-dried tomatoes.
For a spicier version, sprinkle red pepper flakes into the filling.
