Description

Mediterranean pinwheels are a flavorful salty sweet appetizer. This recipe is simple and only requires three ingredients!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 2-3 tbsp pesto
  • ½ cup kalamata olives, sliced
  • ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes, sliced
  • ¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled

Instructions

  1. If your puff pastry is frozen,let it sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to thaw.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Unfold or unroll the puff pastry onto a sheet of parchment paper. Roll it out with a rolling pin if necessary. 
  3. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of pesto onto the pastry in a thin layer. Add a layer of olives, sun-dried tomatoes and feta cheese. 
  4. Gently roll up the pastry from one end to the other. If the dough is sticky and soft, put the roll into the refrigerator for 15 minutes before slicing into 8 equal size pieces. 
  5. Space out the pinwheels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20 minutes. Enjoy served warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Puff pastry can become difficult to work with once it becomes warm and sticky. If this occurs, put it back in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before continuing the recipe. 
  • I like to use oil-free sun-dried tomatoes for this recipe. Extra oil can cause the pinwheels to become soggy.
