Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package puff pastry sheets
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, for dusting
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Thaw the puff pastry sheets as per the package instructions until they are ready to be unfolded.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out one sheet of puff pastry to ensure there are no creases.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped spinach, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until fully mixed.
Spread the cheese and spinach mixture evenly over the puff pastry sheet, leaving about a 1/2 inch border around all edges.
Starting with one end, carefully roll the puff pastry sheet with the filling into a tight log.
Brush the beaten egg along the edge of the border to seal the roll, then brush the remaining egg wash over the outside of the roll.
Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 1/2-inch thick pieces and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and flaky.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
