Ingredients
  

Equipment

  • skillet
  • mixing bowl
  • baking sheet
  • oven
  • sharp knife

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, crumbled feta cheese, grated Parmesan, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  5. Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.
  6. Spread the spinach and cheese mixture evenly across the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
  7. Starting from one end, tightly roll the puff pastry into a log. Brush the beaten egg along the seam to seal it.
  8. Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 1/2-inch thick pinwheels and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Brush the tops of the pinwheels with the remaining beaten egg to create a golden finish.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pinwheels are puffed and golden brown.
  11. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

You can substitute feta cheese with goat cheese for a different flavor. Ensure the puff pastry is fully thawed before rolling.
