Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking tray
  • parchment paper
  • large bowl
  • Sharp knife
  • fork

Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 1 cup frozen chopped spinach thawed and drained
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400F.
  • In a large bowl, combine the thawed and drained spinach with the mozzarella, ricotta, parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix to combine.
  • Grab your thawed puff pastry sheet and lightly flour a working surface – roll out the pastry until it’s roughly ¼” thin.
  • Spread the spinach and cheese mixture on the rolled out puff pastry leaving an empty inch of pastry on top and bottom.
  • Roll the filled puff pastry as tightly as you can into a large log, gently pinching the edge together. Using a very sharp knife carefully cut the into 16-18 pieces to reveal the pinwheel shape.
  • Grab a large baking tray lined with parchment paper and place the rolls on it with an inch or two of empty space between each. Make an egg wash by combining 1 egg with 1 tablespoon water and whisking with a fork. Brush the tops and sides of the rolls with the egg wash.
  • Bake the rolls at 400F for 20 minutes until deeply golden brown and flaky.
