Cheesy mushroom pinwheels - an easy hors d'oevure using a refrigerated crust shortcut with mushrooms, green onions, and cream cheese.
The big day - Christmas - is just a few 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 the 25th. 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. They're loaded with cream cheese and mushrooms and made super easy by using a convenient refrigerated pizza crust.
How to Make Cheesy Mushroom Pinwheels
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.

Golden says
Can I make them without egg as I want an egg free version?
Lana Stuart says
Yes.
Debbie says
Can these be frozen then cooked?
Lana Stuart says
Debbie - sorry I can't say since I've never tried that. However, I do know that cream cheese normally doesn't freeze well, so I wouldn't recommend it.
Alexa says
I'm going to make these for part 2 of my fiance and I's valentine's day! I love cooking so I'm making 3 courses the day after valentine's day (since we're going out for a romantic dinner on Friday!) Anyways! does anyone know if I can make these in advance (leave them on a baking sheet, cover & refrigerate) and just pop them in the oven when I'm ready? I'd like to get as much done ahead of time if possible. Thanks so much for the recipe!

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?
Lana says
You know, Barb...these would actually be great with breakfast or brunch. Cream cheese, mushrooms and pastry. How can you go wrong?
