Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375-400°F (190-200°C).
2. Thaw the puff pastry if using frozen, and roll it out on a lightly floured surface.
3. Cook fresh spinach until wilted or thaw frozen spinach, then squeeze out excess moisture.
4. In a bowl, mix spinach with crumbled feta cheese, beaten egg, and seasonings.
5. Optionally, add grated mozzarella, chopped green onions, minced garlic, or herbs for extra flavor.
6. Spread the spinach-cheese mixture evenly over the puff pastry.
7. Roll up the pastry tightly into a log shape.
8. Slice the rolled pastry into bite-sized pieces.
9. Place the slices on a lined baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
10. Brush the tops with egg wash for a golden, shiny finish.
11. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
12. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
13. Serve warm or at room temperature.
14. If making ahead, freeze the unbaked rolls and bake when needed.
15. Enjoy as a party appetizer, holiday snack, or finger food.
Notes
Use fresh or frozen spinach, but always squeeze out excess moisture to prevent a soggy filling.
Brush the puff pastry with egg wash before baking for a golden, shiny finish.
Try adding sun-dried tomatoes or crispy bacon bits for an extra layer of flavor.
