Spinach and Feta Puff Pastry Rolls

Golden, buttery puff pastry filled with a creamy spinach and feta cheese mixture, baked to flaky perfection and sprinkled with Parmesan—ideal for brunch, appetizers, or a light vegetarian meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cups fresh spinach (or 10 oz frozen, thawed and drained)
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for 2–3 minutes until soft and fragrant.
  3. Add spinach and cook until wilted (or warmed through if using frozen). Season with oregano, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Let cool slightly.
  4. Stir in crumbled feta cheese and mix until evenly combined.
  5. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into 6 rectangles.
  6. Spoon spinach-feta mixture into the center of each rectangle and fold over to form logs. Press edges to seal.
  7. Place rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with egg wash.
  8. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and bake for 18–22 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
  9. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm, with marinara or tzatziki on the side if desired.

Notes

  • Use store-bought puff pastry for convenience, but make sure it’s fully thawed before using.
  • These rolls can be assembled ahead and baked just before serving.
  • Serve with a dipping sauce like tzatziki, marinara, or a yogurt-herb sauce for extra flavor.
