Easy Spinach Rolls Recipe with Puff Pastry

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced, or more to taste
• 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
• salt to taste
• 1 (4 ounce) package crumbled feta cheese
• 3 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in fresh spinach and cook until wilted, approximately 3 to 5 minutes; season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, then mix thoroughly. Transfer the spinach mixture to a mixing bowl and combine with crumbled feta cheese until well incorporated.
2. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease two baking sheets or line them with parchment paper.
3. Lay one sheet of ready-made puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface and cut it in half lengthwise. Roll one half out gently with a rolling pin until it is wide enough to fold twice lengthwise. In a small bowl, whisk together one egg and a splash of milk to create an egg wash.
4. Spread approximately 1/6 of the prepared spinach and feta mixture lengthwise down the center of the puff pastry. Fold one side of the pastry over the filling, then brush the opposite side with the prepared egg wash. Fold the egg-washed side over again to completely seal the filling inside.
5. Brush the top of the assembled roll generously with the remaining egg wash and sprinkle evenly with sesame seeds. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the roll into 6 equal-sized mini rolls. Repeat the process with the remaining puff pastry sheet and spinach filling. Place the freshly cut rolls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving a little space between each roll.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until the spinach rolls are beautifully puffed up and golden brown, typically 20 to 25 minutes. Let them cool slightly before serving.
