Ingredients

• 1 batch Gluten-free croissant dough (store-bought or homemade)
• 3 cups Fresh spinach
• 1 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 large Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• 2 tablespoons Gluten-free flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

If using store-bought gluten-free croissant dough, let it come to room temperature as directed on the package. If homemade, prepare the dough in advance.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Add fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, crumbled feta cheese, cream cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the filling.

Step 6

Lightly dust your workspace with gluten-free flour and roll out the dough, if necessary, into a large rectangular shape.

Step 7

Cut the dough into 8 equal triangles.

Step 8

Place approximately 2 tablespoons of the spinach-feta mixture near the wide end of each triangle.

Step 9

Starting at the wide end, gently roll up the dough towards the pointed end, tucking in the filling as you go.

Step 10

Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each for rising.

Step 11

Brush the tops with the beaten egg to give a shiny golden finish.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until the croissants are puffed and golden brown.

Step 13

Allow the croissants to cool slightly before serving.
