Spinach & Cheese Pastry
Ingredients
1 sheet Puff Pastry (thawed)
1 cup Frozen spinach (thawed and squeezed very dry)
1/2 cup Ricotta cheese
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
1 Garlic clove, minced
1 Large egg (for egg wash)
Optional: Everything bagel seasoning or extra Parmesan for topping.
Instructions
Prep: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the dried spinach, ricotta, Parmesan, and minced garlic. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until smooth.
Assemble: Roll out the puff pastry sheet into a rectangle. Spread the spinach mixture evenly over the bottom half of the pastry.
Fold and Cut: Fold the top half of the pastry over the filling. Use a rolling pin to lightly press it down. Cut the pastry into strips about 2cm wide using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
The Twist: Hold both ends of a strip and twist in opposite directions 3–4 times. Place on the baking sheet and press the ends down slightly.
Bake: Brush the twists with a beaten egg and sprinkle with extra cheese or seasoning. Bake for 15–20 minutes or until they are puffed up and deep golden brown.
