– 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. – Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. – In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and garlic, and sauté until the mushrooms are tender and the garlic is fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.

6. – Place the pinwheel slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. – Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
8. – Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley, if desired.
9. – Serve warm.
Notes
– For extra flavor, add a pinch of dried thyme or oregano to the mushroom mixture.
– Experiment with different cheese varieties, such as Parmesan or Swiss.
– These pinwheels can be made ahead of time and refrigerated or frozen for later use.
