The big day – Christmas – is just four days away! Ask me if I have everything done. Go ahead. But be ready for the glare that comes back your way :-) No, just like most everyone else I’m still running around like a crazy person trying to finish all the hundreds of little tasks that have to be completed by next week. And loving every minute of it. Really. I am.
During this time of craziness, it’s really comforting to know that you have recipes that are quick to make when friends stop by or to take with you to holiday parties. And this little pinwheel appetizer couldn’t be easier or tastier. It’s loaded with cream cheese and mushrooms and made even easier by using one of Pillsbury’s refrigerated pizza crusts.
All you do is chop up some mushrooms and green onions very finely.
Then you cook those for a little while in a bit of butter.
Let that mixture cool and then combine it with some softened cream cheese.
Roll out the pizza crust, slather on the cream cheese and mushroom mixture…
roll the whole thing up and cut it into slices.
Put the slices on a greased baking sheet, brush them with egg wash and sprinkle them with poppy seeds. Pop the baking sheet in the oven and cook until golden brown.
You can serve these little gems either warm or at room temperature. They’re great with a glass of wine or whatever your libation of choice might be.
Enjoy!

An easy hors d'oevure for Christmas or New Year's parties. Sauteed mushrooms and green onions combined with cream cheese all wrapped up in a refrigerated pizza crust.

Big mistake to come here before coffee or toast; dying for some for breakfast. They sound easy to make and delicious too…how perfect is that?
You know, Barb…these would actually be great with breakfast or brunch. Cream cheese, mushrooms and pastry. How can you go wrong?
A fantastic recipe! I’ll be trying these for breakfast, for appetizers and as holiday snacks! Who could resist?! Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks, Shannon. Hope you like them. We certainly do!
I will be making some of these to have in the fridge & pop in the oven when folks come by over the next few days. Now, if there was just a way to make my house clean this easily……. well..
