Provided by Canadian in Minneso

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 15m

Yield 40 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 soft flour tortillas (for Christmas I use the green spinach ones)
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup dried cranberries (I use Craisins)
2 bunches diced green onions
1 teaspoon garlic salt

Steps:

  • Mix cream cheese and garlic salt together until well blended. Spread evenly on tops of tortillas.
  • In small bowl, stir together cranberries and onions. Sprinkle evenly over cream cheese spread. Lightly press cranberry/onion mix into cream cheese.
  • Roll up tortilla. Trim off ends. And cut each tortilla into 10 even pieces using a serated knife, like you would slice bread.

Tips:

  • Prep the dough in advance: To save time, make the crescent dough ahead of time and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you get clean, even cuts when slicing the dough and the filling.
  • Don't overfill the pinwheels: Too much filling will make the pinwheels difficult to roll and may cause them to burst open during baking.
  • Bake until golden brown: The pinwheels are done baking when they are golden brown on the edges and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the pinwheels cool before slicing: This will help them hold their shape and prevent the filling from oozing out.

Conclusion:

Blue cheese, cranberry, and walnut pinwheels are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a quick bite to eat. With their creamy blue cheese, tart cranberries, and crunchy walnuts, these pinwheels are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
