Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet low-fat puff pastry sheet
- 150 grams frozen spinach
- 100 grams low-fat cottage cheese
- 50 grams reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
- 1 large egg white
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Thaw the frozen spinach and remove as much excess water as possible by squeezing it in a clean towel.
In a mixing bowl, combine the spinach, cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese, egg white, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the low-fat puff pastry sheet into a 12x12 inch square.
Spread the spinach and cheese mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a small margin around the edges.
Carefully roll the pastry into a tight log, starting from one side. Use a little water along the edge of the pastry to seal the roll if necessary.
Once rolled, slice the log into approximately 16 equal pieces.
Place the pinwheels on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, cut side up.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-fat savory cheese and spinach pinwheels!
