Servings: 16
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 1 cup frozen chopped spinach
- 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.
