Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Frozen puff pastry
- 2 cups Fresh spinach, chopped
- 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 Egg, beaten
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp All-purpose flour, for dusting
Instructions
Thaw the puff pastry sheet according to the package instructions.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, sautéed spinach, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Lightly dust a clean surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry sheet into a rectangle, approximately 10x12 inches.
Spread the spinach and cheese mixture evenly across the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border along one side.
Starting from the opposite side, roll the pastry tightly into a log. Seal the edge by brushing it with a little water and pinching it closed.
Slice the log into 1-inch thick swirls and place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the swirls with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the swirls are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
