Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup (diced) red bell pepper
- 0.5 cup (diced) yellow bell pepper
- 0.5 cup (chopped) fresh spinach
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 large (beaten) egg
- 1 tablespoon (for dusting) all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Lightly dust your work surface with all-purpose flour. Roll out the puff pastry sheets to smooth any creases, ensuring they are approximately the same size.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine shredded mozzarella cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced red bell pepper, diced yellow bell pepper, chopped spinach, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form the filling.
Step 4
Place one puff pastry sheet on the prepared baking sheet. Evenly spread the cheese and vegetable mixture across the pastry, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Step 5
Gently place the second puff pastry sheet over the filling, aligning the edges with the bottom sheet. Press the edges together using a fork to seal.
Step 6
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the pastry into strips about 1-inch wide without cutting through the edges. Twist each strip gently to create a spiral shape.
Step 7
Brush the entire pastry with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm as a snack or appetizer.
