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