Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 large flour tortilla
- 2–3 tablespoons (30–45 ml) cream cheese
Seasoning:
- Everything Bagel seasoning (to taste)
Fat/Binding Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) butter
Instructions
- Generously coat the tortilla with cream cheese using a smooth, even motion, ensuring complete coverage and sprinkle the chosen seasoning across the surface.
- Carefully roll the tortilla into a compact cylindrical shape, applying gentle pressure to maintain a tight formation, then slice the log into uniform bite-sized segments approximately 1-inch thick.
- Place a skillet over medium-high heat, allowing the butter to melt and create a golden cooking surface with slight bubbling, then gently introduce the pinwheel segments.
- Rotate the pinwheels frequently during cooking, allowing each side to develop a crisp, golden-brown exterior, which typically requires 3-4 minutes of continuous attention.
- Remove the pinwheels from the heat and transfer to a cooling rack, permitting them to rest for 5-6 minutes, which helps the cream cheese solidify and enhances the overall texture and flavor profile.
Notes
- Select soft, fresh tortillas for the best texture and easier rolling.
- Experiment with different cream cheese flavors like herb, jalapeño, or garlic to add variety.
- Pat tortillas dry with paper towels before spreading cream cheese to prevent sogginess.
- Chill rolled tortillas for 10 minutes before cutting to help maintain their shape during cooking.
