Ingredients
- 1 large flour tortilla
- 2–3 tbsp cream cheese
- Everything Bagel seasoning to taste
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Spread Cream Cheese: Use a butter knife to evenly spread the cream cheese all over the tortilla, then sprinkle the top generously with Everything Bagel seasoning.
- Roll and Slice: Tightly roll up the tortilla into a log shape and slice into about 9 bite-sized pinwheels.
- Melt Butter and Fry: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pinwheels and stir to coat them well. Cook, flipping frequently, until all sides are golden brown and crispy.
- Rest Before Serving: Let the pinwheels rest for about 5 minutes to allow the cream cheese to firm up for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use a large flour tortilla for ideal pinwheel size and quantity.
- Adjust the amount of cream cheese based on preference for creaminess.
- Everything Bagel seasoning adds a savory bite—feel free to add more or less depending on your taste.
- Ensure the skillet is heated properly to get an even crisp without burning.
- Allowing them to rest after cooking enhances the texture by letting the cream cheese set.
