Cheesy Garlic Butter Pinwheels

These quick and easy pinwheels are just like garlic bread, only more delicious! They're packed full of melty mozzarella cheese, garlic butter and herbs, and the puff pastry makes them super quick and easy - only 25 minutes start to finish!

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes

Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

1 sheet (approximately 320g, 110z) ready-roll puff pastry, or homemade
150 grams (1 1/4 stick) butter, softened
5 cloves garlic, crushed
1/4 tsp mixed Italian herbs
salt and pepper, to season
120 grams (1 1/4 cup) grated mozzarella

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200° C (390°F) and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
With a fork, mix the butter, garlic and herbs together until well combined and the butter is soft. Season well with salt and pepper.
Spread the garlic butter evenly over the pastry sheet and then top with an even layer of grated mozzarella.
Roll up the pastry starting with 1 long side to form a tight spiral.
Slice in to approximately 1" pinwheels, and place them on one end on the baking sheets spread well apart.
Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastry is golden and flaky. Some of the garlic butter and cheese may have spread over the parchment paper, but as they cool, they can still be removed on to a plate intact. Serve hot or follow recipe notes.

Notes

These can be baked in advance and stored in the fridge then eaten cold or reheated. To reheat them, warm them gently in the oven. They can be microwaved, but may become soggy.

To prepare in advance, roll up the pastry as in step 4, wrap in cling film and then chill the log until ready to bake. Do not do this more than a day in advance as the pastry may become soggy and not puff up properly when baked.

Grated Mozzarella can be swapped for any other melty cheese, such as mild cheddar.

Fresh herbs can be used instead of dried. I recommend using a mix of parsley, basil, thyme and oregano, although garlic chives would also be great.
