Spinach and Cheese Rolls with Puff Pastry

This spinach and feta fillingpuff pastry snack is a vegetarian option. I used fresh spinach because it is easily available in stores but the equivalent amount of frozen spinach, chopped and wilted, would do the job. Makes around 36 spinach rolls.

Instructions:

1.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in spinach and cook until warmed through, 3 to 5 minutes; season with salt and mix well. Transfer to a bowl; mix in feta cheese until combined.

 

2.

Roll outĀ 1 sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut in half lengthwise. Roll 1 half out with a rolling pin so it is wide enough to fold twice lengthwise. Mix egg and milk together in a small bowl.

3.
Spread 1/6 of the spinach mixture lengthwise in the center of puff pastry. Roll one side over the filling and brush other side with egg mixture. Roll over again to seal.
4.

Brush the top with egg mixture and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Cut roll into 6 equal-sized rolls. Repeat with the remaining puff pastry. Place cut rolls onto the prepared baking sheets.

5.

Bake at 200 degrees for 20 - 30 minutes until golden brown.
