Ingredients
- 1 heet puff pastry ½ package, thawed
- ½ cup pesto homemade or store-bought (130g)
- 8 oz. sun-dried tomatoes drained and chopped (100g)
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan 56g
- 1 egg for an egg wash
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Thaw the puff pastry, and place it on a floured surface. Use a rolling pin to roll it out a bit to flatten the tabs and make it thinner. It should be about 9"x16".
- Brush the puff pastry with the pesto. Sprinkle on the sun-dried tomatoes, then the parmesan. Be sure to leave about ½" border on each side of the pastry so the filling won't fall out when you roll it up.
- Roll the pinwheels slowly, and when completely rolled, seal with the egg wash.
- Slice into 1/2" pinwheels, and gently transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between the pinwheels.
- Bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- Let cool for 10-15 minutes, then enjoy!

Notes
- How to store: Store leftover pinwheels in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
- The flaky puff pastry will not be as crisp after storing in the fridge, but you can heat it up in a toaster oven or an air fryer crisp it back up.
