Flaky puff pastry filled with spinach, feta, and herbs, baked golden for a savory appetizer or snack.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Dough
01 - 1 sheet puff pastry (about 8.8 oz), thawed if frozen
→ Filling
02 - 5.3 oz fresh spinach, washed and chopped or 3.5 oz frozen spinach, thawed and well-drained
03 - 4.2 oz feta cheese, crumbled
04 - 1.8 oz cream cheese, softened
05 - 1 small garlic clove, minced
06 - 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped or 1 tsp dried dill
07 - 1 egg, beaten (for binding and brushing)
08 - ½ tsp ground black pepper
09 - ¼ tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
10 - 1 tbsp olive oil
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add spinach and sauté until wilted—approximately 2 to 3 minutes for fresh or 1 minute for thawed frozen spinach. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
03 - In a mixing bowl, blend the sautéed spinach mixture with crumbled feta, softened cream cheese, chopped dill, black pepper, nutmeg if using, and half of the beaten egg until evenly combined.
04 - Unroll the puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface. Spread the spinach-feta mixture evenly over the pastry, leaving a 0.4-inch (1 cm) border along one long edge.
05 - Starting from the opposite long edge, roll the pastry tightly to enclose the filling, sealing the seam with a little water. Slice the roll into 16 equal spirals.
06 - Place the spirals cut side up onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg.
07 - Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
08 - Allow spirals to cool slightly before serving warm or at room temperature.
