Description

These Cheesy Bacon Ranch Pinwheels are a quick and easy game day appetizer. They are savory, creamy, and packed with bacon and cheese, making them a perfect crowd-pleaser for any sports party or get-together. You can prepare them in under 30 minutes with minimal fuss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet refrigerated puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
  • 4 oz (113g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup cooked bacon, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp ranch dressing
  • 1/4 cup finely sliced green onions
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, blend the cream cheese, ranch dressing, shredded cheddar, cooked bacon, green onions, garlic powder, and black pepper until smooth and evenly combined.
  2. Unroll the puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Evenly spread the cheese and bacon mixture over the pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch border along one long edge for sealing. Gently roll up the pastry into a tight log, finishing at the exposed border. Pinch to seal.
  3. Slice the log into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Place the pinwheels cut side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Brush each with beaten egg.
  4. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 13-16 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. Let cool for 3 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For ultra-crispy pinwheels, chill the assembled log in the freezer for 10 minutes before slicing.
  • You can substitute turkey bacon or go meatless with sautéed mushrooms for a vegetarian version.
  • Assemble and slice the pinwheels, cover tightly, and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking.
  • Homemade ranch can be used for increased flavor.
  • The recipe can be easily doubled or tripled for larger gatherings.
