These crisp little pinwheels take one tortilla, cream cheese, everything-bagel seasoning and a brush of butter, and the trick is spreading the cheese right to the edges so the roll seals itself and holds together when sliced. Cut the log into 4 cm (1½ in) rounds, set them on parchment and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes. They are ready when the exposed edges turn golden and crisp; the centres stay soft and creamy. The butter on top carries the seasoning and helps the tops brown.

Slice the log into bite-sized rounds, about 4 cm each.
- 5

- 6
Bake at 180°C / 350°F for 10 minutes, until the edges turn golden and crisp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make them ahead?
Roll and slice ahead, refrigerate, then bake fresh for the best crunch. Baked bites keep a day in an airtight container and re-crisp in the oven.
No everything-bagel seasoning?
Mix your own: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion and flaky salt. Or use za’atar for a different but equally savoury hit.
Can I air-fry them?
Yes — air-fry at 180°C for about 6–8 minutes until golden. Watch closely, as the thin rounds crisp fast.
