Description:

"Easy yet crowd pleaser” food recipes are not-so-easy to come across often. Piquant Mushroom Pinwheel Puffs will top such a recipe chart. The Pear Foods Piquant Peppercorn Blend adds a peppery delightful note to this crunchy and scrumptious dish which serves well as an appetizer or a snack at family brunches and dinners or at get-togethers.

Ingredients:

• Make Puff Pastry Filling:
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 4 - 6 garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 onions (medium size | thinly sliced)
• 1/8 tsp granulated sugar (add to taste)
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 32 oz white button or cremini or portabella mushroom (thinly sliced)
• 1 - 2 tsp Pear Foods Piquant Peppercorn Spice Blend (add to taste)
• 1/4 tsp red chili powder or red pepper flakes (optional | add to taste)
• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 2 tbsp vegetable broth
• 1/3 c parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp green onions (sliced)
• 3/4 tsp salt (add to taste)

• Make Piquant Mushroom Pinwheel Puffs:
• 1.1 lb. box of puff pastry frozen pastry dough sheets (comes with two pastry dough sheets | thaw as per package directions)
• 4 oz cream cheese (at room temperature)
• Prepared puff pastry filling
• 1 tbsp milk
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)

 Directions:

• Make Puff Pastry Filling:

• Set the cook top heat to medium.
• Add the olive oil and butter to the chef's pan. When the butter has melted, add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until the garlic is cooked and becomes fragrant.
• Add onion and the sugar at this stage and let it cook and caramelize over the next couple of minutes.
• Add the mushrooms. The mushrooms will give away some moisture as they cook. Brown them a little.
• Turn the cook top heat to medium low. Add Pear Foods Piquant Peppercorn Spice Blend and sauté for about 30 seconds.
• Deglaze the pan by adding balsamic vinegar and vegetable broth. Let the liquid dissipate.
• Turn off the heat. Add parmesan and green onions and adjust the salt seasoning at this time. Stir well to coat the mixture with parmesan.

• Make Piquant Mushroom Pinwheel Puffs:

• Thaw the pastry dough sheets as per package instructions before use.
• Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Put the pastry dough sheet on a wooden board or plastic board and gently spread it a little with the help of a pastry rolling pin. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese on the pastry dough sheet.
• Divide the puff pastry filing into two portions. On top of the cream cheese layer, spread one portion of the puff pastry filling evenly throughout the sheet.
• Gently begin rolling from one end of the sheet ending in making a log of the puff pastry dough sheet along with the filling. Brush the end of the pastry dough lengthwise lightly with milk.
• Repeat this for the second pastry dough sheet as well. Cover with plastic or aluminum wrap and refrigerate it for 20 minutes.
• Cut the log into two equal parts and equal part into 4 pinwheel slices. The process yields about 8 pinwheels per pastry sheet. Lay the 16 pinwheels on the oven sheet (lined with aluminum foil) and space them out well. Brush the pinwheels with melted butter on the top.
• Place the sheet in the oven and cook for about 23 - 25 minutes, or until the pastries are nice and golden brown in color. At the end of cooking time, remove the oven sheet from the oven and allow it to cool.

• Once cooled, offer the warm Piquant Mushroom Pinwheel Puffs as snacks or sides with your choice of accompaniments. Enjoy!
