Ingredients

Scale

Pastry

  • 1 package puff pastry (thawed)

Filling

  • 2 cups fresh spinach (chopped)
  • 1 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 cup onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For Egg Wash

  • 1 egg (beaten)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the rolls.
  2. Sauté Spinach and Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant. Then add the chopped spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Mix Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed spinach, onions, garlic, crumbled feta cheese, softened cream cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly until well combined to create a creamy, savory filling.
  4. Prepare Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet to smooth out creases. Cut the sheet into approximately 3×3 inch squares for uniform mini rolls.
  5. Fill Pastry Squares: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the spinach-feta filling into the center of each pastry square, ensuring not to overfill to prevent leaking.
  6. Seal Rolls: Fold each pastry square over the filling to form triangles or rectangles. Press the edges firmly to seal and use a fork or fingers to crimp the edges securely.
  7. Apply Egg Wash: Brush the tops of each sealed roll with the beaten egg to help achieve a golden, shiny finish during baking.
  8. Bake: Arrange the prepared rolls on the lined baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are puffed up and golden brown.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set slightly.

Notes

  • For crispier rolls, ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking.
  • Do not overfill the pastry squares to avoid leakage while baking.
  • The filling can be customized by adding herbs like dill or parsley for extra flavor.
  • Use cold puff pastry and keep unused sheets refrigerated until ready to use.
  • These mini rolls are best served warm but can be reheated gently before serving.
