These Spinach and Mushroom Pinwheels are a savory, buttery appetizer with homemade pastry dough, sautéed mushrooms, and fresh spinach. Ideal for parties, snacks, or brunch, they’re easy to make ahead and delicious warm or at room temperature.

Ingredients

  • Pastry Dough:
  • 3 cups flour
  • 200 g butter, cut into small cubes
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 egg white
  • 30 ml milk
  • 10 g fresh yeast
  • Pinch of salt
  • Filling:
  • 500 g fresh spinach
  • 4 mushrooms, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Garnish:
  • 1 egg yolk, beaten

Instructions

  1. Dissolve fresh yeast in milk. In a medium bowl, mix butter with flour and salt. Add eggs and the milk with yeast and mix until combined. Knead until smooth, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  2. Blanch spinach in boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain and cool, then chop.
  3. In a pan, heat olive oil. Sauté onion and garlic for 5 minutes until soft. Add mushrooms and chopped spinach. Cook until liquid evaporates. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool.
  4. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Divide dough into 3 pieces. Roll each into a rectangle (12×10 inches).
  5. Spread 1/3 of filling on each rectangle. Roll into logs and slice into 1-inch pieces. Place on a lined baking tray.
  6. Brush tops with beaten egg yolk. Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown. Cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Can be prepared a day ahead and reheated before serving.
  • Try adding cheese like feta or parmesan for extra flavor.
  • Swap fresh spinach with thawed frozen spinach (well-drained).
  • Great for brunch buffets, lunch boxes, or potlucks.
