So, whether you’re hosting a party or just craving something delicious, these Cranberry Feta Pinwheels are a must-try. Just mix, roll, chill, and slice—it’s that easy!
Recipe Yield: About 24–28 pinwheels
INGREDIENTS
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup dried cranberries, chopped
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
4 green onions, finely chopped
4 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
¼ tsp black pepper
4 large flour tortillas (10-inch) (soft and flexible for easy rolling)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Mix the filling: In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, chopped cranberries, crumbled feta, green onions, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until fully blended.
2. Spread evenly: Lay a tortilla flat and spread ¼ of the cream cheese mixture evenly across the entire surface, all the way to the edges. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
3. Roll tightly: Starting from one side, roll each tortilla tightly into a log to ensure the filling stays intact. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight) to firm up.
4. Slice and serve: Unwrap each roll and cut into ¾-inch pinwheels using a sharp knife. Arrange on a serving platter and enjoy!
Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe
- Use Softened Cream Cheese – Room temperature cream cheese spreads easily and creates a smooth filling.
- Chill for Clean Slices – Refrigerating helps set the filling, making slicing neat and mess-free.
- Layer Flavor with Fresh Herbs – Fresh parsley adds brightness, but a little chopped dill or chives can also enhance the taste.
