Ingredients

Scale

Pastry

  • 1 package puff pastry (thawed)

Filling

  • 2 cups fresh spinach (chopped)
  • 1 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 cup onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Egg Wash

  • 1 egg (beaten)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow easy cleanup.
  2. Sauté Spinach Mixture: Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened and aromatic. Next, add the chopped fresh spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  3. Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed spinach mixture with crumbled feta cheese, softened cream cheese, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated to create a creamy and flavorful filling.
  4. Roll and Cut Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet to smooth out any creases. Cut the pastry into approximately 3×3 inch squares for uniform mini rolls.
  5. Fill Pastry Squares: Place about 1 tablespoon of the spinach and feta filling in the center of each pastry square, ensuring not to overfill to prevent leaking.
  6. Seal the Rolls: Fold each pastry square over the filling to form triangles or rectangles. Press the edges firmly together, using a fork or your fingers to seal tightly and avoid filling spillage during baking.
  7. Apply Egg Wash: Brush the tops of each sealed roll with the beaten egg. This step helps achieve a glossy, golden-brown finish after baking.
  8. Bake: Arrange the filled rolls on the lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and beautifully golden brown.
  9. Cool: Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set slightly and avoid burns.

Notes

  • Ensure the puff pastry is properly thawed but still cold for easier handling and better puff results.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like dill or oregano to the filling.
  • The rolls can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated before baking.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature for best taste.
  • These mini rolls freeze well; reheat in the oven to regain crispness.
