Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- Beat eggs in a bowl using a fork or whisk; stir in feta cheese, garlic powder, and salt. Add spinach and bacon and mix well.
- Unfold pastry sheets onto a lightly floured surface. Top each sheet with 1/2 of the spinach mixture and spread evenly. Starting with the short side, roll each like a jelly roll around the filling. Place rolls on a plate and freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
- Cut each roll into 20 slices using a sharp knife. Arrange slices onto the prepared baking sheet and top each with Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until pastries are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer pastries to a wire rack to cool, about 10 minutes.

STEAK, SPINACH & FETA PINWHEELS RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:
- Marinade: In a gallon or bigger zipper bag, combine the list of Marinade ingredients. Pierce the flank steak with a knife, making small slits about 1 inch apart. Place the steak into the bag, make sure everything is mixed and all the meat is covered, then seal. Put in the fridge overnight. Final Preparation: Preheat oven to 350°F. Remove the steak from the bag and place on a working surface so that it is wider than tall. Optional, keep the marinade to baste the final log. Sprinkle the steak with the salt, then spread each ingredient across the steak in a single layer: garlic, onion, feta, spinach and bread crumbs. Tightly roll the meat away from you into a log. If it's thin enough, it will form a jelly roll shape. Worst case (like I usually do), you end up with more a 'meat taco'. It still tastes great though. Anyways, once rolled, secure with tooth picks, or kitchen twine (recommended). Place log in a greased casserole dish, seam up (especially if it's a 'taco'). If you saved the marinade, pour some of it over the log for extra flavor. Bake uncovered for 60 minutes, or until it reaches 145°F. Let it rest for 5 minutes before cutting.
SPINACH AND FETA PINWHEELS
When I flew out to my friend's wedding I was asked if I had any ideas for appetizers for the event 2 days away. So, I turned to an old standby....the pinwheel. I had made Mexican and Seafood many times but this one was new. It is an easy, tasty treat. The filling can also be used for a dip with pita chips or crackers.

Steps:
- 1. Mix cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Add the remainder of the ingredients. Combine thoroughly. Spread on spinach wraps or tortillas of your choice. Roll into tight rolls.
- 2. Wrap in cling wrap for a couple hours. Slice into about 1/2 in. pinwheels. Using an electric knife works very well.
- 3. This same filling can be used as dip. To make it a little softer either add less cream cheese and more sour cream or add 2 T. Milk.
Tips:
- For the Best Results, Use Fresh Spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and color than frozen spinach. If you're using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess water before using.
- Don't Overstuff the Pinwheels: If you overstuff the pinwheels, they'll be difficult to roll and will likely fall apart. Aim for about 1/4 cup of filling per pinwheel.
- Use a Sharp Knife to Cut the Pinwheels: A sharp knife will help you get clean, even cuts. If you don't have a sharp knife, you can use a kitchen shears.
- Bake the Pinwheels Until They're Golden Brown: The pinwheels are done baking when they're golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
- Serve the Pinwheels Warm or at Room Temperature: The pinwheels are best served warm or at room temperature. You can also store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Spinach feta pinwheels are a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Try experimenting with different fillings, such as sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, or roasted red peppers. You can also use different types of cheese, such as mozzarella, cheddar, or Parmesan. No matter how you make them, spinach feta pinwheels are sure to be a hit!
