Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 sheet of puff pastry (store-bought, thawed if frozen)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (washed and chopped)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove (minced)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 egg (for egg wash, optional)
  • Fresh herbs (optional, such as thyme or oregano for extra flavor)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare filling: In a skillet, sauté spinach, garlic, and olive oil until wilted. Remove from heat and stir in feta, cream cheese, Parmesan, salt, and pepper.
  3. Assemble pinwheels: Roll out puff pastry, spread the filling evenly, roll up tightly, and slice into pinwheels. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake: Brush with egg wash, if desired, and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs and enjoy warm.

Notes

  • You can customize the filling by adding ingredients like sun-dried tomatoes, olives, or pine nuts for extra flavor.
  • For a vegetarian version, skip the egg wash or use a plant-based alternative.
