baking sheet For baking the pinwheels.

Ingredients

4 oz. full-fat cream cheese room temperature
4 oz. cheddar cheese shredded
1/3 cup diced, fresh, jalapeños (about 1 large jalapeño)
2 puff pastry sheets thawed overnight in the refrigerator and let them warm up a bit on the counter before using

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cheeses and jalapeños.
4 oz. full-fat cream cheese, 4 oz. cheddar cheese, 1/3 cup diced, fresh, jalapeños
After the pastry sheets have come to room temperature, unfold and lay them flat. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture onto each pastry sheet, then roll tightly into a log. Trim the ends so they're even, score the roll into segments with a sharp knife, and slice into 8 equal pieces. Repeat with the remaining pastry sheet.
2 puff pastry sheets
Place the pieces onto a baking sheet, leaving enough space between them as they bake and expand. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese bubbles and the pastries begin to brown.
