Spinach Rolls with Puff Pastry image

  • Season the spinach: Once the spinach is wilted, season it with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other spices or herbs to taste.
  • Drain the spinach: After the spinach is seasoned, drain it in a colander to remove any excess liquid.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: You can use any type of cheese that you like in this recipe. Some good options include feta cheese, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese.
