Spinach cheese swirls
I found these on Pepperidge Farm website while brainstorming ideas for my two oldest kids birthday party. I wanted something that looked fun for the kids and delicious for the adults. These were really easy to put together ahead of time and then just slice and bake right before the party starts. Easy! Easy! Easy! I subsituted 1 Tbls Roasted Garlic for the garlic powder it calls for. I prepared all the ingredients, spread the roasted garlic, piled on everything else and rolled it up. Then I wrapped it up and stored in the refrigerator till the next day. About 30 min before party time I pulled them out of the fridge, unwrapped then brushed with egg mixture. Then baked them as directed. It was great having them done ahead of time and less mess to clean up on the day of the party. Try these for your next party and let me know how many you have left. I bet there will only be crumbs left on the platter.
Here is the picture from their website. I will add my own at some point. Thanks again for bearing with me during my photography learning curve.
