The holidays are officially upon us, and that means food is at the forefront. From brunches and cocktail parties to multi-course dinners and everything in between, it\u2019s the season of eating.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

As a professional cook and avid entertainer, I love making my guests feel at home with gourmet (yet unpretentious) bites that are simple to prepare, easy to pass, and of course, taste delicious. <\/span>This year, I\u2019m thinking outside of the box and utilizing my Gardyn\u2019s fresh herbs in a more decadent way. While I love balancing out a rich meal with a bright, refreshing salad this time of year, right now I\u2019m craving something warm and comforting; case in point: these pinwheels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

For starters, take a shortcut with store-bought puff pastry. Inside the flaky, buttery crust, the combination of cream cheese, tangy goat cheese, mixed fresh herbs, garlic, and sweet sun-dried tomatoes result in the most irresistible bite.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

What\u2019s more, the beauty of these pinwheels is that the combination of fresh herbs from your Gardyn can be interchanged, yielding a delicious result no matter what\u2019s used. So whether these are served alongside a traditional Christmas morning brunch or as an appetizer on New Year\u2019s Eve (with a glass of bubbly, naturally), these pinwheels are a true crowd-pleaser.<\/span><\/p>

Ingredients: <\/strong><\/h4>
Makes 24 pinwheels<\/strong><\/h6>

1 package store-bought puff pastry; thawed according to instructions.<\/span><\/p>

8 oz. cream cheese; at room temperature<\/span><\/p>

5 oz. goat cheese; at room temperature\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

3-4 tablespoons mixed herbs (we used rosemary, thyme, oregano, chives, and Italian parsley); minced<\/span><\/p>

1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest<\/span><\/p>

1\/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (preferably those marinated in oil); chopped finely<\/span><\/p>

1 large clove fresh garlic; minced<\/span><\/p>

1\/2 teaspoon Kosher salt<\/span><\/p>

Freshly ground black pepper\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

1 egg (for egg wash)<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>

Instructions:\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>

Follow the thawing instructions on the package of puff pastry.<\/span><\/p>

Combine the softened cream cheese, goat cheese, fresh herbs, lemon zest, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Mix until thoroughly combined and set aside.<\/span><\/p>

Then, beat the egg in a small bowl and set aside.<\/span><\/p>

Working with one sheet at a time, unroll the puff pastry and place on a piece of parchment or wax paper (or simply keep it on its original paper) with the longer two ends of the pastry running horizontally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Next, spoon the cheese-herb filling into the center of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border along the edges. Spread the mixture into an even layer with a rubber spatula.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Then, with a pastry brush (or your finger), spread the egg wash all the way around the border. Roll up the puff pastry into a log, ensuring a nice seal at the end. Place log(s) in the freezer for about 30 minutes to make slicing a breeze. <\/span>While chilling, preheat the oven according to package instructions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

When ready, remove the log(s) from the freezer and slice 1 inch off the ends with a sharp knife. Discard these pieces and then proceed to slice the log into 12 even pinwheels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Place pinwheels on a parchment-lined baking sheet about 1 inch apart; brush the tops with more egg wash and bake 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Serve warm and enjoy!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
