Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Open the crescent roll dough and lay it flat on a clean work surface.
1 can crescent roll dough sheet
Spread the roasted garlic over the dough.
6 cloves roasted garlic
Make sure the goat cheese is softened to room temperature, and lay dollops of it on the dough.
6 ounces goat cheese
Spread with the back of a spoon so the dough is evenly coated.
Roll the dough into a tight spiral.
Cut into 1-inch sections.
Place on ungreased cookie sheet and cook for 11-13 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serve warm by themselves or with a dipping sauce of your choice.

Notes

Soften the Goat Cheese: Make sure your goat cheese is at room temperature. It spreads more easily and evenly over the dough.
Seal the Seams: When unrolling the crescent dough, pinch together the seams to create one even layer. This prevents the filling from leaking out.
Use a Serrated Knife: For clean cuts, use a serrated bread knife to slice the rolled dough into pinwheels.
Don’t Overfill: Too much filling can make rolling and slicing difficult. A thin, even layer works best.
Serve Fresh: These pinwheel slices taste best when served warm right out of the oven.
Prevent Sogginess: If adding veggies like bell peppers or tomatoes, remove excess moisture by patting them dry.
