Ingredients

For the Pinwheels

1 cup spinach, cooked and chopped
1 cup artichoke hearts, chopped
1 cup cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 package of crescent roll dough

Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl for a delicious filling.

Steps

Prepare the Filling

In a large bowl, mix together the spinach, artichokes, cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.

Roll the Dough

Unroll the crescent roll dough and lay it flat on a clean surface. Pinch the seams together to create a solid sheet of dough.

Fill and Roll

Spread the spinach and artichoke filling evenly over the dough. Starting from one end, carefully roll the dough into a log shape.

Slice and Bake

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the log into 1-inch thick pinwheels and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Let the pinwheels cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Storage Tips

If you have leftovers (although that's rare!), storing them is easy. Place the cooled pinwheels in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to three days. When you're ready to enjoy them again, simply reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through.

For those who love meal prepping, you can also freeze the unbaked pinwheels. Just prepare the log, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and place it in a freezer-safe bag. When you're ready to bake, just slice and bake them straight from the freezer, adding a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.

Variations to Try

Feel free to get creative with the filling! You can add diced bell peppers, green onions, or even cooked bacon to the mixture for an extra flavor boost. Experimenting with different cheeses like feta or gouda can also give a unique twist to the traditional recipe.

For a healthier option, consider using whole wheat crescent roll dough or swapping out the cream cheese for Greek yogurt. These substitutions can lighten the recipe while still delivering on taste, allowing you to enjoy your pinwheels guilt-free.
