Cranberry Feta Pinwheels

Ingredients:

  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup dried cranberries, chopped
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ¼ cup green onions, finely chopped
  • 4 large (10-inch) flour tortillas

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Filling:
    In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped cranberries, crumbled feta cheese, and finely chopped green onions. Stir well until the mixture is evenly blended.
  2. Assemble the Pinwheels:
    Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a quarter of the cheese mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving about ½ inch around the edges.
  3. Roll Tightly:
    Carefully roll up the tortilla tightly into a log shape. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  4. Chill:
    Place the rolled tortillas in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up. This step helps when slicing, keeping the pinwheels neat and intact.
  5. Slice and Serve:
    Once chilled, remove the rolls from the fridge. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into approximately 1-inch thick pinwheels. Discard (or enjoy!) the uneven ends.
  6. Presentation:
    Arrange the pinwheels on a platter. Garnish with fresh herbs like rosemary if desired for an extra festive touch.

Tips:

  • You can add a handful of fresh spinach leaves before rolling for extra color and freshness.
  • These pinwheels are perfect for holiday parties, brunch tables, or as a quick appetizer!
