Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by softening 8 ounces of cream cheese in a mixing bowl for about 15 minutes. Add 4 ounces of crumbled feta cheese, 1 cup of finely chopped dried cranberries, 1 tablespoon of minced fresh rosemary, and a pinch of salt, brown sugar, black pepper, and optional garlic powder. Mix until well combined to create filling.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one sheet of thawed frozen puff pastry into a rectangle, roughly 12 inches by 10 inches. Spread half of the filling evenly over the pastry, leaving a small border. Roll the pastry into a log, sealing the seam.
- Wrap the rolled pastry log tightly in plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes, or refrigerate for 30-45 minutes.
- Remove the log from the wrap and slice into ½-inch thick rounds. Arrange on a cutting board. Repeat with the second pastry sheet and remaining filling.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Arrange the sliced pinwheels on the sheets, leaving 2 inches between them.
- Brush tops of the pinwheels with egg wash. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky, checking at the 15-minute mark. Rotate trays if necessary.
- Allow the pinwheels to cool for a few minutes on baking sheets before transferring to a wire rack. Garnish with sprigs of fresh rosemary and whole cranberries before serving.

Notes
These pinwheels can be prepared in advance and frozen unbaked for later use. Bake them from frozen, adding an additional 5-10 minutes to the baking time.
