Ingredients
  

Filling Ingredients
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp pine nuts (optional) Lightly toasted for extra flavor.
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella or crumbled feta
  • 1 each egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Seasonings
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley or basil, chopped
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp red chili flakes (optional) For added spiciness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Stir in spinach and cook until just wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Mix the Ingredients
  1. In a bowl, combine cooked spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts, cheese, herbs, and seasonings. Mix everything well to create a savory, colorful filling.
Roll Out the Puff Pastry
  1. On a lightly floured surface, roll out your puff pastry into a rectangle. Spread the filling evenly across the dough, leaving a small border along the edges.
Roll and Slice
  1. Carefully roll the pastry into a tight log starting from the long side. Using a sharp knife, slice into ½-inch thick pinwheels for even baking.
Bake the Pinwheels
  1. Place slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush tops with beaten egg for that golden finish.
  2. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 minutes or until puffed and crisp.
Cool and Serve
  1. Let the pinwheels cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature with a dipping sauce.

Notes

Thaw puff pastry in the fridge overnight for best results. Use oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor. Avoid overfilling – too much filling can cause leaks.
