Place about 1 tablespoon of the spinach feta mixture at the wide end of each triangle.

Step 7

Carefully roll up the croissants starting from the wide end and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Brush the tops of the croissants with the beaten egg to ensure a golden brown finish.

Step 9

Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the croissants, if desired.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious spinach feta croissants warm!
