Ingredients
  

For the Pastry
  • 1 sheet Puff Pastry Ensure it's thawed for easy rolling and a flaky texture.
For the Filling
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Use full-fat for a decadently creamy filling.
  • 1 cup Cranberries (Dried or Fresh) If fresh, chop and sprinkle with sugar to lessen bitterness.
  • 4 oz Feta Cheese Crumbled feta is essential for that perfect salty bite.
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley, Thyme, or Rosemary) Choose your favorite for a fresh and aromatic touch.
For the Finishing Touch
  • 1 egg Egg (for Egg Wash) Brush over pinwheels for a lovely golden finish.

Equipment

  • parchment paper
  • Medium Bowl
  • sharp knife

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by unrolling the thawed puff pastry onto a clean, lightly floured surface. Smooth out any creases with your hands.
  2. Blend the cream cheese until smooth in a medium bowl. Add crumbled feta cheese and chopped herbs, mixing until combined.
  3. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly across the puff pastry, leaving a ½-inch border. Sprinkle cranberries over the mixture.
  4. Roll the pastry tightly from one long edge into a log shape. Slice into ½-inch thick pieces.
  5. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the pinwheels and brush with beaten egg.
  6. Bake for 15–20 minutes until golden brown, then let cool for a few minutes before serving.
