- 2 sheets puff pastry Note 1
- 2 jalapenos Note 2, remove seeds and dice finely.
- 200 grams/7 oz diced bacon Note 3
- 250 grams/9 oz cream cheese Note 4
- 2 teaspoon dried onion Note 5
- 2 tablespoon parmesan cheese Note 6
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Preheat your oven: to 180°C / 350-375°F / Gas Mark 4-5.
Puff pastry: remove puff pastry from freezer and leave on bench (or in fridge over night prior) to thaw.
Jalapenos: use a sharp knife and chopping board to cut jalapenos in half, remove the seeds (discard), then chop into fine pieces.
Combine: in a medium sized mixing bowl add cream cheese, bacon, diced jalapeno, parmesan cheese, dried onion, salt and pepper. Stir till consistently combined.
Filling into pastry: working one by one, place thawed puff pastry sheet onto chopping board. Spoon cream cheese mixture onto pastry and use a butter knife to spread into a layer. Leave a slight uncovered bit at each of the 4 sides.
Roll: start at one edge and roll the pastry into a tight log. Wrap in glad wrap (cling wrap) and place in the freezer (optional) for 30 mins.
Slice: remove pastry from freezer, unwrap and discard plastic. Use a sharp knife to cut each end off (discard) and the log into individual portions. Place pinwheels on baking tray, scroll side up.
Oven bake: transfer baking tray to oven and bake pinwheels for 25 to 30 mins. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
To serve: serve warm with Greek Yogurt (optional).
- Note 1 Pastry: store bought from the freezer section is fine. This is a different ingredient to short crust pastry and phyllo pastry.
- Note 2 Jalapenos: if you are a huge fan of jalapenos, increase this quantity to 4.
- Note 3 Bacon: store bought diced bacon will save you chopping your own.
- Note 4 Cream cheese: grab this out of the fridge so it has a chance to soften as you gather the rest of the ingredients.
- Note 5 Dried onion: this will be in the herbs and spices section of the store.
- Note 6 Cheese: or you can use shredded cheddar cheese.
