Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 sheets of puff pastry, thawed according to package instructions
- 10 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the thawed and squeezed dry spinach, crumbled feta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, green onions, fresh dill, fresh parsley, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
On a lightly floured surface, unfold one sheet of puff pastry. Roll it out slightly to smooth any creases and extend it just a bit.
Spread half of the spinach and feta mixture evenly over the puff pastry sheet, leaving a small border around the edges.
Starting from one of the shorter sides, tightly roll the puff pastry sheet into a log shape.
Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 1/2-inch thick pinwheels. Place each pinwheel on the prepared baking sheet, cut-side down.
Repeat steps 3-6 with the second sheet of puff pastry and the remaining spinach and feta mixture.
Brush the tops of the puff pastry pinwheels with the beaten egg wash.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the pinwheels are golden brown and puffed up.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve these Greek-inspired Spanakopita Puff Pastry Pinwheels with Feta and Spinach as a delightful appetizer or snack. The combination of flaky puff pastry, savory spinach and feta filling, and fragrant herbs creates a taste reminiscent of Greece. These pinwheels are best enjoyed warm, but they can also be served at room temperature. Embrace the Mediterranean flavors and enjoy the culinary journey!
