topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp. water
  • 0.5 cup grated Muenster or mozzarella
  • 1/4 tbsp. grated parmesan
  • 1 green onion, chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder
  • Premium flour
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, defrosted
  • 1 package (about 280g) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed out

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C. In a small bowl, beat the egg and water with a fork or whisk. In a medium bowl, combine the Muenster, Parmesan, onion, and garlic powder.
  2. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface. Brush with egg wash. Top with the cheese mixture and spinach. Roll up, starting from the short side. Cut into 20 1/2-inch-thick slices. Place the slices cut-side down on a baking sheet. Brush the slices with egg wash.

    Note

    Squeeze as much water out of the spinach as possible to prevent the dough from becoming soggy.
  3. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove the puff pastries from the baking sheets and let cool on wire racks for 10 minutes.
