These Easy Sun-Dried Tomato and Spinach Pinwheel Sandwich Roll-Ups are quick, simple, and perfect for parties, combining creamy, tangy, and fresh flavors in a fun spiral shape.

Ingredients

  • White or wheat sandwich bread, crusts removed (can use gluten-free bread)
  • Cream cheese, softened
  • Sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and finely chopped
  • Fresh baby spinach leaves, washed and patted dry
  • Garlic powder, a pinch
  • Italian seasoning, about 1/2 teaspoon (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Remove crusts from each sandwich bread slice. Use a rolling pin to gently flatten each slice until about 1/8-inch thick (3 mm).
  2. In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and finely chopped fresh basil if using. Stir until smooth and well blended.
  3. Drain excess oil from sun-dried tomatoes, then finely chop them into small pieces.
  4. Using a spatula or butter knife, evenly spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture over each flattened bread slice, covering edge to edge.
  5. Sprinkle chopped sun-dried tomatoes evenly over the cream cheese, then add a layer of baby spinach leaves on top. Press gently to adhere.
  6. Starting from one short end, roll each slice tightly into a cylinder.
  7. Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to firm up.
  8. Using a sharp serrated knife, slice each roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels. Arrange on a serving platter.

Notes

Soften cream cheese fully before spreading to avoid tearing bread. Chill roll-ups before slicing to keep shape. Use serrated knife to cut cleanly without squishing. Can substitute sun-dried tomatoes with roasted red peppers or fresh tomatoes. Vegan and gluten-free options available by swapping ingredients.
