Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
- 300 grams baby spinach
- 200 grams ricotta cheese
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for brushing)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully incorporated.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out each puff pastry sheet to smooth and even out any creases.
Divide the spinach mixture evenly between the two sheets, spreading it out smoothly while leaving a 2 cm border around the edges.
Beat the egg in a small bowl, then brush the edges of the pastry with the egg wash.
Carefully roll each pastry sheet into a tight log, starting from one long side. Press the edges to seal the seam, then slice each roll into 6 equal pieces to make 12 rolls in total.
Place the rolls cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2-3 cm apart. Brush the tops with melted butter for extra crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Florentine Rolls warm or at room temperature!
