Ingredients

Scale

Puff Pastry

  • 2 sheets thawed store-bought puff pastry

Filling

  • 2 cups fresh spinach, washed and chopped
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely minced
  • 1 large egg, divided (1 for filling, 1 for egg wash)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Sauté minced garlic and onion in olive oil over medium heat until translucent and fragrant. Add chopped fresh spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool. In a bowl, combine the cooled spinach mixture with ricotta, grated Parmesan, 1 beaten egg, salt, and pepper until creamy and well mixed.
  2. Roll Out the Puff Pastry: Lightly flour a clean surface and unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets. Gently roll them out to smooth any creases, preparing them for the filling.
  3. Assemble the Rolls: Evenly spread the spinach ricotta filling over each puff pastry sheet. Carefully roll the pastry over the filling, sealing the edges with a little water. Slice the rolled pastry into evenly sized pieces to create individual rolls.
  4. Egg Wash and Bake: Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking tray. Brush each roll with the remaining beaten egg to create a golden, glossy finish. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are puffed up and golden brown.

Notes

  • Keep puff pastry cold before baking to prevent shrinking and ensure maximum flakiness.
  • Drain spinach well to avoid soggy filling and pastry.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the rolls evenly so the filling stays inside.
  • Do not overfill the pastry to prevent bursting during baking.
  • Use egg wash to achieve an attractive golden-brown crust.
