- Slice the log into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
- Arrange pinwheels on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
- Brush the tops with beaten egg.
- Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning (optional).
- Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Cool: Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve: Serve warm or at room temperature with ranch dressing or sour cream for dipping (optional).
Notes
- Adjust the spiciness by varying the amount of jalapeños.
- These pinwheels can also be made ahead and frozen before baking.
- For a different flavor, try adding cooked bacon or shredded chicken to the filling.
