Cranberry feta pinwheel appetizers

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.

Ingredients:

1 tortilla
45g
1/4 cup feta cheese
36g
2 tbsp cream cheese
30g
1/4 cup onion
18g
1/3 cup dried cranberries
13g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Spread:
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and crumbled feta cheese. Mix until smooth and well blended.
2. Add the Onions and Cranberries:
- Stir in the finely chopped onion and dried cranberries. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Spread the Mixture:
- 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.
4. Roll It Up:
- 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.
5. Chill (Optional but recommended):
- 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.
6. Slice the Pinwheels:
- Remove the tortilla roll from the refrigerator and unwrap it. Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 1/2-inch thick pinwheels.
7. Serve:
- 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.

Cranberry Feta Pinwheel Appetizers are a simple yet crowd-pleasing dish that looks as good as it tastes. The combination of creamy, tangy, and sweet flavors is wonderfully balanced, making these pinwheels an elegant addition to any appetizer spread.
