Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
- 1 cup fresh spinach (chopped)
- 1/2 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (finely chopped)
- 1/4 cup Kalamata olives (pitted and chopped)
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare Filling:Â In a bowl, combine the spinach, feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Assemble Pastry:Â Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Spread the filling evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border on one edge.
- Roll & Slice:Â Roll the pastry tightly into a log, starting from the edge opposite the border. Seal the edge with a bit of beaten egg. Slice the log into 1/2-inch-thick pinwheels.
- Bake:Â Arrange the pinwheels on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden and puffed.
- Serve:Â Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- You can substitute feta with goat cheese or cream cheese for a milder flavor.
- For a vegan option, use dairy-free cheese and skip the egg wash (or use a plant-based milk wash).
- These pinwheels can be made ahead and frozen before baking for quick appetizers later.
