Low Carb Mushroom Pinwheels

What a great appetizer for Christmas, New Years, Super Bowl, you name it this Low Carb Mushroom Pinwheel Appetizer is great for any occasion. The trickiest part to eating low carb is having a nice dough or bread and I think this dough is perfect for this Mushroom Pinwheel. When I was preparing this recipe we were going to my brothers for there Christmas dinner and I had prepared this recipe a couple of days in advance so I decided to put the Low Carb Mushroom Pinwheels in the freezer and the day we were going to my brothers I took the pinwheel dough out of the freezer and sliced them approximately 1/2 inch thick , place them on my silicone mat on a tray and baked them in the oven. They can be eaten warm or room temperature,they are delicious either way.

So, lets get started and I will show you how to make them.

130 grams soft goat cheese

2 cups mushrooms

2 tablespoons butter

2 gloves garlic

herbamare or salt and pepper to taste

Melt butter in skillet add minced garlic until you have that garlic fragrant.

Add chopped mushrooms, cook until all moisture from the mushrooms are gone.

Remove from heat and let cool.

Dough Instructions

2 oz soften cream cheese (1/2 cup)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (100 grams)

1 1/4 cups almond flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

In a microwaveable bowl add the cream cheese and mozzarella cheese, microwave for 1 minute.

Remove from microwave and stir until both cheeses are mixed well.

Add almond flour, baking powder and salt to the cheese mixture. I like wearing a rubber glove and mix everything together until well mixed.

Lay parchment paper or a silicone mat, place the dough on the mat and place another silicone mat or parchment paper on top of dough.
Take your rolling pin and roll out your dough to a 1/4 inch consistency.

Spread your goat cheese over the dough ( I put my goat cheese in the microwave for a few seconds to make it soft to spread easier)
Spread the mushroom mixture over the goat cheese.

Start at the side of the dough and silicone mat lift up the mat and start rolling the dough to make one large roll.

Pinch the seam to seal roll and place the seam on the bottom.

Slice each pinwheel approximately 1/2 of an inch and place on your silicone mat.
(Make sure you press the seam together if they release)

Preheat oven to 400 F

Bake 12 to 15 minutes.

Place on cooling rack, serve when warm.
