Spinach Mushroom and Cheese Puff Pastry Pinwheels

These Puff Pastry Pinwheels are simple treats for an evening tea or a party appetizer. Spinach, mushroom and cheese are rolled in the puff pastry sheets and cut into small slices and baked in the oven. You can substitute the mozzarella and fontina cheese with any of your favorite cheese. I got the idea of making this dish when I was watching Paula Deen’s show. They are colorful and bite size so kids will definitely like it. You can serve it with ketchup or hot and sweet sauce or by itself. Here you go…
