Ingredients

• 300 g Fresh spinach
• 250 g Ricotta cheese
• 50 g Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 Eggs
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 Puff pastry sheets
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.25 tsp Nutmeg, ground (optional)
• 1 tbsp Milk (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash the spinach, then wilt it by briefly steaming or sautéing. Allow it to cool slightly, then squeeze out excess water and roughly chop.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, 1 egg, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.

Step 4

Place one puff pastry sheet on a clean surface. Spoon half of the spinach and ricotta mixture along one edge of the pastry, leaving about 2 cm of space at the edge.

Step 5

Roll the pastry tightly over the filling, creating a long roll. Seal the seam by pressing lightly. Repeat with the second puff pastry sheet and remaining filling.

Step 6

Cut each roll into 6-8 equal pieces, depending on your desired size, and arrange them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk the remaining egg with milk to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of each roll with the egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are puffed and golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
