    Fresh herbs are perfect for making baked puff pastry pinwheels. An easy tasty and savory appetizer you can make any time of year. A great way to utilize your herbal garden harvest. However, store-bought works just as well.

    Baked pinwheels made with herbs and puff pastry.

    If you like to grow or simply cook with fresh herbs then this herbal puff pastry pinwheel recipe is one you must try.

    Small bowl of chopped fresh herbs and oil.

    Making Pinwheels with Puff Pastry

    Just chop up fresh herbs. Here I've used basil, flat-leaf Italian parsley, and chives, but you can use any combination of herbs that you like. Add them to olive oil or melted butter. You could also add some freshly grated garlic or red pepper flakes to the mix.

    Then spread it all over a sheet of defrosted store-bought puff pastry.

    Top with grated cheese. I used Parmesan cheese but you can use asiago or romano. I would stick with a block of hard cheese. Something like mozzarella might be too soft to work with in this recipe.

    Roll up the pastry from the short end and stick it in the freezer for a few minutes. This will make it easier to slice.

    After you slice up the puff pastry roll place the pinwheels on a cookie sheet or baking tray. Use a glass with a flat bottom to press them down a bit. You could also use your hand but that gets a little sticky.

    Can you make them ahead?

    These buttery herbal pinwheels are tasty straight from the oven but are also good room temperature so you can keep them for a little while in a storage container until ready to serve. You can also keep the container in the refrigerator a day ahead of time. However, I would reheat them in the oven on a cookie sheet for a few minutes until they are warmed through. Do not use the microwave to reheat them. That would result in a soggy mess.

    These herb-filled puff pastry pinwheels come out of the oven all golden brown and crispy. Perfect for any special occasion but easy enough for any day of the week.
