Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Thaw and thoroughly drain the frozen spinach, then chop finely. Fold it into the creamy mixture until evenly distributed.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, unroll chilled puff pastry. Spread the creamy spinach filling evenly, leaving a 1-inch border.
  4. Starting from one edge, roll the puff pastry tightly into a log shape. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Slice the chilled log into ½-inch rounds, placing them on the prepared baking sheet with space in between. Brush with egg wash.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. Cool slightly before transferring to a serving platter.

Notes

Ensure spinach is as dry as possible to avoid soggy pinwheels. Chilling the rolled log for at least 30 minutes aids in easier slicing and helps maintain pinwheel shape while baking.
