Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 24 pinwheels

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 slices bacon
6 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
6 scallions, green part only, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 sheets frozen puff pastry (from a 17.3-ounce package), thawed
All-purpose flour, for dusting
4 ounces Cheddar, grated
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and allow to cool slightly, then finely chop. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the cream cheese and scallions. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Unfold the pastry sheets on a lightly floured work surface. Lightly roll each piece of pastry into a 10-inch square. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface of each piece of pastry, leaving a slight border around the edges. Sprinkle the Cheddar and bacon in an even layer over the top of the cream cheese mixture. Tightly roll each pastry sheet into a log (jelly roll style), then pinch the seam closed and place seam-side down on the work surface.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut both logs crosswise into 12 pinwheels each, approximately 1 inch thick. Transfer 12 pinwheels to each prepared baking sheet, spiral-side up. In a small bowl, whisk the egg and 1 tablespoon water until combined to make an egg wash. Brush the tops and sides of the pinwheels with the egg wash.
  • Bake the pinwheels until puffed and golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh chicken, bacon, cheddar cheese, and ranch dressing will give you the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook it until it is just cooked through.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the chicken and bacon: This will help you get clean, even slices.
  • Grate the cheddar cheese: Grated cheese will melt more evenly than sliced cheese.
  • Use a creamy ranch dressing: A creamy ranch dressing will give you a rich, flavorful sauce.
  • Roll the pinwheels tightly: This will help them hold together when you bake them.
  • Bake the pinwheels until they are golden brown: This will give them a crispy exterior and a gooey interior.
