Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the filling
  • 10 oz 1 bag frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry Ensure excess moisture is removed
  • 8 oz 1 block cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • pinch red pepper flakes (optional) For heat
For assembly
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed but still cold
  • 1 egg for brushing

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Add the thawed spinach, ensuring all moisture is squeezed out, and mix everything until combined.
  2. Flour your countertop and roll out the puff pastry. Spread the spinach mixture evenly over the pastry, leaving one long edge empty for sealing.
  3. Roll the pastry like a jelly roll, making it tight. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up.
  4. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Baking
  1. Remove the log from the fridge and slice it into half-inch rounds.
  2. Place the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Beat the egg with a splash of water and brush it over the tops.
  3. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they puff up and turn golden brown.

Notes

Serve warm on a platter with side dips like marinara or ranch dressing. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat at 350°F for 10 minutes.
