Directions: |
Directions:Thaw puff pastry sheets according to boxed directions.
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.
Shred cheese and add seasonings
Sprinkle flour on surface, place puff pastry and roll until it is larger and thinner.
Brush egg wash all over puff pastry.
Sprinkle cheese mixture evenly on puff pastry. From one end, roll up into a log and seal edge.
Slice log into 2in pieces. Place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Use the bottom of a drinking glass to flatten the pinwheels slightly. Put bottom of glass in a bowl of flour to keep from sticking to each pinwheel.
Brush tops with egg wash. Bake at 400 degrees F for 17-20 minutes until golden brown.
Alternate method
Place cheese ingredients in food processor and pulse with a little butter until smooth. Brush edges of puff pastry with egg wash. Spread cheese mixture on puff pastry then follow remaining steps. |

Personal
Notes: I've found spinning the cheese in a food processor breaks it down further resulting in the cheese not hardening up when cold. Sprinkling or spreading won't change the taste, but results in more of a textural preference.
