Cheesy Spinach and Artichoke Pinwheels
Description
Cheesy Spinach and Artichoke Pinwheels feature a mixture of artichoke hearts and baby spinach bound with sour cream and mayonnaise, flavored modestly with garlic and onion powder, and enriched by mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. This filling is spread on a sealed rectangle of crescent roll dough, rolled tightly, sliced, and baked until the pinwheels are golden and cooked through. The baked dough provides a flaky, slightly crisp exterior that contrasts with the smooth, creamy interior. Brushing the top with beaten egg gives a shiny finish. These pinwheels can be enjoyed warm, making a pleasant finger food or side dish. Adding chopped fresh parsley on top adds a mild herbal brightness. This recipe yields a batch suitable for serving guests or family gatherings with a mild, cheesy, and herby profile.
