Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (15 ml)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (approx. 1 teaspoon)
  • 10 ounces (283g) fresh spinach, washed and chopped
  • 4 ounces (113g) feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup (30g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 sheet (14.1 oz / 400g) frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon milk or egg wash
  • Sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Sauté minced garlic in olive oil until fragrant. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Drain any excess liquid.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, feta cheese, Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Gently roll out the pastry to even out any creases. Spread the spinach and feta filling evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a small border. Tightly roll the puff pastry into a log, starting from one long edge. Wrap the log in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the log into 1-inch thick pinwheels. Place the pinwheels on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with milk or egg wash. Sprinkle with sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning (optional).
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up. Let the pinwheels cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
