Cheesy Mushroom Pinwheels
Description
Starting with finely chopped mushrooms and green onions cooked in butter, this mixture is combined with softened cream cheese and salt to create a rich filling. It's spread evenly over a rolled-out thin pizza crust, which is then rolled into a log and sliced into 1-inch pinwheels. The slices are brushed with an egg wash and sprinkled with poppy seeds before baking at 400°F until golden brown.
The cooked mushrooms provide earthiness and moisture combined with the creamy texture of the cream cheese, creating a flavorful filling. The thin crust offers a tender yet sturdy base that crisps nicely in the oven. These pinwheels can be served warm or at room temperature, making them versatile for various occasions.
They store well in the refrigerator for a few days and can be reheated briefly in the oven or served at room temperature. They also freeze well for up to a month if fully cooled and properly stored, then thawed overnight before serving.
