Parmesan Rosemary Pinwheels
I love these pinwheels. We have done different variations, but these are so quick and easy and a perfect appetizer. I found them on the What’s Cooking board on theNest.com.
Parmesan Rosemary Pinwheels
Adapted from Pampered Chef, found on the WC Nest Boards
Ingredients
1 8 oz can crescent rolls or Pillsbury Recipe Creations
1/2 cup regular cream cheese spread, softened
1/4 cup (1 oz) grated fresh Parmesan Cheese
1 teaspoon rosemary
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Roll out the dough. If you are using crescent rolls you will need to keep the crescent rolls in pairs, forming four rectangles.
- Place cream cheese in a small bowl, add rosemary and Parmesan cheese to the bowl and mix well.
- Spread the cheese mixture onto the dough, leaving a border.
- Roll up the sheet of dough. If using crescent rolls, roll from the short side.
- Using a serrated knife, cut up the rolled up dough into 22 slices (or 6 per crescent pair).
- Place slices on pizza stone or greased baking sheet.
- Bake 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
These pinwheels are always a hit. I usually make a double batch for a large group, since they go fast.

These sound so good – I love anything with rosemary (and cheese!). We’re having a party food recipe contest and would love to have you enter one of your favorite recipes. The prize is a $400 credit to marxfoods.com. I’ve linked to the contest through my name.

Yum! I was so confused as to why your Parmesan looked so thick, until I realized it was cream cheese.

I love how something so simple looks so elegant. I need to try these one of these days. And I love how you used cream cheese.

great app idea. i love finding new ways to use simple (and cheap) things like crescent rolls. maybe i could even sneak some spinach in and my hubby wouldn’t mind (he is a carnivore and i’m a vegetarian so i am always thing like this – see my blog http://www.cooking4carnivores). anyway, very creative!
