  • 1 can (14-ounce) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped (400 g)
  • 2 cups baby spinach, chopped (60 g)
  • 1 cup sour cream (240 g)
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise (80 g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (2.5 g)
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder (1 g)
  • to taste Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (100 g)
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan (25 g)
Dough
  • 2 tubes (8-ounce) crescent rolls (450 g)
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves (8 g) For garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly oil a pie plate or coat it with nonstick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the drained and chopped artichoke hearts, chopped baby spinach, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and onion powder. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  3. Stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan until well mixed.
  4. Unroll the crescent rolls and press the perforations to seal them into a rectangle approximately 13x18 inches (33x46 cm).
  5. Spread the artichoke mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough.
  6. Starting at the shortest side, carefully roll up the dough, pressing the edges to seal.
  7. Cut the rolled dough into eighths, creating pinwheel pieces.
  8. Place each pinwheel cut side down onto the prepared pie plate.
  9. Brush the tops with the beaten egg.
Baking
  1. Place the pie plate in the oven and bake until the pinwheels are golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
Serving
  1. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Notes

These pinwheels can be made ahead of time and refrigerated before baking. For a healthier version, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream and add more vegetables such as bell peppers or mushrooms.
