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 these Cheesy Mushroom Pinwheels 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.
Cheesy mushroom pinwheels - an easy hors d'oevure using a refrigerated crust shortcut with mushrooms, green onions,… Click To Tweet
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!
