Serve these Mediterranean Pinwheels with Homemade Tzatziki or Homemade Hummus for your dipping pleasure.
Mediterranean Greek Pinwheels
Flaky, buttery puff pastry is rolled around spinach, roasted red peppers, kalamative olives, feta and oregano. Baked to golden perfection, these Greek roll-up are perfection on their own, but dipped into a Dill Tzatziki Sauce, and well, eyes roll back in the back of your head mind-blowing good.
How to make Mediterranean Pinwheels
A Few Notes On Greek Rolls
- If you can't use fresh spinach, you can use ½ cup defrosted cooked spinach, just be sure to drain well.
- Feel free to omit the kalamative olives and use your favorite olives in these Greek roll-ups.
- I have not tried making these rolls with crescent rolls in place of the puff pastry, but my guess is it would still work and be delicious.
