Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Unfold puff pastry on a floured surface and roll it to about 1/8 inch thick.
  2. In a bowl, mix cream cheese, shredded cheese, and fresh herbs. If using veggies, ensure they are diced small. Mix until creamy.
  3. Spread the filling on the pastry, roll tightly, and slice into pinwheels about one inch thick.
  4. Reshape pinwheels into bunny heads, using pastry to form ears. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Beat egg with water for egg wash and brush over pinwheels for a shiny finish.
  6. Bake the pinwheels for 15–20 minutes until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack before serving.
