Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large butter puff pastry sheet
- 200 grams cream cheese
- 100 grams grated mozzarella cheese
- 100 grams fresh spinach
- 0.5 medium red bell pepper
- 2 stalks green onions
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Wash the spinach and red bell pepper thoroughly. Chop the spinach into strips and the bell pepper into small cubes. Finely chop the green onions and mince the garlic cloves.
In a medium-sized pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the spinach, red bell pepper, and green onions to the pan. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened. Add salt and pepper, then remove from heat and let it cool.
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and grated mozzarella cheese. Stir in the cooled vegetable mixture into the cheese mixture until well combined.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into 8 equal triangles.
Place a generous tablespoon of the filling onto the wide end of each pastry triangle. Carefully roll the pastry triangles from the wide end to the tip to form a crescent shape.
Place the filled crescents onto the prepared baking tray, leaving some space between each for expansion during baking.
Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush each crescent with the egg wash to ensure a golden brown finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crescents are golden brown and puffy.
Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your Vegetarian Schinkengipfel warm or at room temperature.
