Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet (thawed according to package instructions) frozen puff pastry
- 3 cups (packed) fresh spinach
- 4 ounces (softened) cream cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 large (beaten) egg
- 1 tablespoon (for dusting) flour
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons (optional) red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust your work surface with flour and gently roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet into a rectangle about 10x12 inches.
In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the fresh spinach until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Once cool enough to handle, squeeze out excess moisture and chop finely.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix until well combined and creamy.
Spread the spinach-cheese mixture evenly over the rolled-out puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border along one of the longer edges.
Starting from the opposite edge, tightly roll the puff pastry into a log. Seal the edge by brushing it lightly with the beaten egg and pressing gently to close.
Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into 8 even slices, about 1.5 inches thick each.
Place the slices cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
