Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g Fresh spinach
- 250 g Ricotta cheese
- 50 g Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 Eggs
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 Puff pastry sheets
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 tsp Nutmeg, ground (optional)
- 1 tbsp Milk (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the spinach, then wilt it by briefly steaming or sautéing. Allow it to cool slightly, then squeeze out excess water and roughly chop.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, 1 egg, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
Place one puff pastry sheet on a clean surface. Spoon half of the spinach and ricotta mixture along one edge of the pastry, leaving about 2 cm of space at the edge.
Roll the pastry tightly over the filling, creating a long roll. Seal the seam by pressing lightly. Repeat with the second puff pastry sheet and remaining filling.
Cut each roll into 6-8 equal pieces, depending on your desired size, and arrange them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk the remaining egg with milk to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of each roll with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
