Ingredients
Scale
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface.
In a small bowl, mix the chopped spinach and crumbled feta cheese. Season with black pepper.
Spread the spinach and feta mixture evenly over the entire surface of the puff pastry, leaving a small border on one long edge.
Starting from the long edge opposite the border, tightly roll the pastry into a log.
Brush the exposed border edge lightly with water or egg wash to help seal the roll.
Brush the entire outside of the log with the beaten egg wash.
Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 1/2-inch thick pinwheels.
Place the pinwheels cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the pinwheels are puffed and golden brown.
Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
Notes
You can add a pinch of nutmeg to the filling for extra depth.
For easier slicing, chill the rolled log in the freezer for 15 minutes before cutting.
If you prefer a tangier flavor, use goat cheese mixed with the feta.
