Cranberry Feta Pinwheel Appetizers are a delightful and easy-to-make dish perfect for holiday parties, gatherings, or even as a tasty snack. Combining the tanginess of feta cheese, the lusciousness of cream cheese, the mild kick of onions, and the sweet-tart flavor of dried cranberries, these pinwheels provide a burst of flavor in every bite.
Instructions:
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and crumbled feta cheese. Mix until smooth and well blended.
- Stir in the finely chopped onion and dried cranberries. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Lay the tortilla flat on a clean surface. Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, evenly spread the cheese mixture onto the tortilla, covering the entire surface.
- Starting at one edge, tightly roll the tortilla into a log. Try to keep the roll as tight as possible to ensure the filling stays intact when cut.
- For best results, wrap the rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps the roll hold its shape for easier slicing.
- Remove the tortilla roll from the refrigerator and unwrap it. Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 1/2-inch thick pinwheels.
- Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter.
Tips:
- Ensure your cream cheese is softened to make spreading easier.
- Finely chop the onion to avoid large, overpowering chunks.
- For a touch of greenery, consider adding finely chopped spinach or parsley.
- Chill the rolled tortilla before cutting to help it hold its shape better.
- Use a sharp knife to get clean cuts when slicing the pinwheels.
