These savory spinach and feta pinwheel appetizers with sun-dried tomato are quick, easy, and perfect for gatherings. They combine creamy cheese, tangy tomatoes, and flaky puff pastry for a crowd-pleasing snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
  • 4 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 6 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (oil-packed)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill or parsley, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add chopped fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool slightly.
  3. To the cooled spinach, add crumbled feta, softened cream cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, lemon zest (if using), fresh dill or parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
  4. Lightly flour your work surface. Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet into a rectangle roughly 12×10 inches. Roll thinner if desired but do not tear.
  5. Spread the spinach and feta mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving about a 1/2-inch border along the edges.
  6. Starting from one long edge, carefully roll the pastry into a tight log. Pinch the seam to seal.
  7. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice the log into approximately 1/2-inch thick pinwheels, yielding about 20-24 slices.
  8. Place the pinwheels cut-side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each.
  9. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake pinwheels for 15-18 minutes or until golden, puffed, and crisp.
  10. Let cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a serving platter. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Do not overload the filling to prevent pinwheels from bursting during baking. Drain spinach well to avoid soggy pastry. Chill the dough if it becomes too warm or sticky. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter for clean slices. Check oven early to avoid burning. Lemon zest enhances flavor.
