Ingredients
  

For the filling
  • 2 cups fresh mushrooms (finely chopped)
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded, can substitute with mozzarella) Can also use mozzarella
  • 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (can substitute with olive oil) Olive oil can be used as an alternative
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Adjust to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the pinwheels
  • 1 package puff pastry (17.3 oz, thawed) Ensure well-thawed for easy rolling

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are soft and translucent.
  3. Add the chopped mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and become tender. Season with salt and pepper, and stir well. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Assembly
  1. Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a floured surface. Cut it into rectangles.
  2. Spread a layer of the mushroom mixture on each rectangle, leaving some space at the edges.
  3. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the mushroom mixture.
  4. Roll up each rectangle tightly. Seal the edges by pressing them down.
  5. Cut the rolls into bite-sized pieces and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Baking
  1. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
  2. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve warm as an appetizer or snack. They pair well with a dipping sauce like marinara or ranch dressing. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
