Ingredients
- 2 heets puff pastry (thawed, store bought)

- 1 clove garlic (finely minced or shredded)
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 4 Jalapeno peppers (seeded and diced)
- ¼ cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- ¼ cup mozzarella cheese (shredded, or monterrey jack)
- 8 lices Bacon (cooked and crumbled)
- 3 tablespoon green onion (chopped, approximately 3 green onions)

- In a large bowl combine the filling ingredients, mix until evenly combined.
- On a lightly floured piece of parchment paper or kitchen counter, roll out each puff pastry into a 10×12-inch rectangle.

- Starting at a long end, roll each puff pastry into a tight log. Press the edges together to seal. Wrap each in plastic wrap, and refrigerate them, seam side down, for 15-30 minutes.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the puff pastry log into ½ inch slices, 16 slices per log. Arrange the rolls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 1-2 inches apart.
- In a small bowl whisk the egg, Brush the whisked egg on the sides of the pinwheels and gently over the tops.
- Bake until golden brown, rotating and switching the pans halfway through, about 20-25 minutes.
- Let cool for 4-5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
