Ingredients

  • 300 g fresh spinach (or 200 g frozen, thawed and drained)
  • 200 g feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 egg (for filling)
  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
  • 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
  • Black pepper (optional)
  • Sesame seeds or nigella seeds (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. If using fresh spinach, sauté in a pan until wilted, then squeeze out excess moisture and chop finely.
  2. Mix spinach with crumbled feta and 1 egg in a bowl. Season lightly with black pepper.
  3. Roll out puff pastry into a rectangle on a floured surface, then cut it into two long strips.
  4. Spoon the filling along the center of each strip and fold the pastry over. Seal the edges by pressing with a fork.
  5. Slice each filled roll into bite-sized pieces and place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Brush each roll with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame or nigella seeds for extra texture.
  7. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and puffed.

Notes

  • Add 1 tablespoon of cream cheese to the filling for extra creaminess.
  • For more flavor, stir in fresh dill, parsley, or grated nutmeg.
  • Chili flakes or spicy feta can be added for a spicy twist.
  • Freeze unbaked rolls and bake them straight from frozen, adding 5 extra minutes to the cooking time.
  • For a lighter option, use phyllo dough instead of puff pastry.
