Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Broccoli Cheese Pinwheels
  1. Begin by steaming your broccoli until it's tender, about 5–7 minutes. Chop it into small pieces and set aside to cool.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Unroll the crescent roll dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring all seams are pressed together.
  3. Spread a generous layer of cream cheese evenly across the dough.
  4. Sprinkle the chopped steamed broccoli over the cream cheese, followed by the cheddar cheese.
  5. Carefully roll the dough into a log shape, ensuring even rolling to prevent filling from spilling out.
  6. Slice the rolled dough into 1-inch sections and space them on the baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown, ensuring they don’t over-brown.
