SPINACH ROLLS WITH PUFF PASTRY
A vegetarian version of mini sausage rolls but made with a spinach and feta filling. I used frozen spinach because it was a better buy than fresh at the time but the equivalent amount of fresh spinach, chopped and wilted, would do the job.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook garlic until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in spinach and cook until warmed through, 3 to 5 minutes; season with salt and mix well. Transfer to a bowl and mix in feta cheese.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.
- Lay 1 sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut in half lengthwise. Roll 1 half out with a rolling pin so it is wide enough to fold twice lengthwise. Mix egg and milk together in a small bowl.
- Spread 1/6 of the spinach mixture lengthwise in the center of the puff pastry. Roll one side over the filling and brush the other side with egg-milk mixture. Roll over again to seal.
- Brush top of roll with egg-milk mixture and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Cut roll into 6 small rolls. Repeat with the remaining puff pastry. Place cut rolls onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until spinach rolls are puffed up and golden, 20 to 25 minutes.

SPINACH PIE IN PUFF PASTRY (SPANAKOPITA)
Modified from a recipe by Ina Garten. We've made this a few times for dinner, and it turned out delicious as well as beautiful. The puff pastry is much easier to work with than phyllo dough, so this comes together fairly quickly.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375. Line a baking sheet with parchment (preferable) but you can use aluminum foil with a light spray of cooking oil.
- Melt butter and cook onions for a few minutes, until soft. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
- Beat eggs in medium bowl. Add cooked onion, spinach, feta, parmesan, bread crumbs. Add salt, pepper, & nutmeg. Mix well with fork.
- Place one unfolded sheet of puff pastry on the parchment or sprayed aluminum foil. Spread the spinach mixture over the pastry, leaving a border of one inch all around the edges. Keep the spinach flat; do not pile high.
- Brush the edges with the egg wash made with the last egg. Cover with the second sheet of pastry that has been slightly flattened with a rolling pin to one inch bigger than the first sheet. (This ensures all the spinach will be covered). Press edges together with fingertips or fork, making sure mixture is sealed well. Brush just the top with egg wash, careful not to drip any down the sides. Cut a few slits in the top with a sharp knife to allow steam to escape.
- Bake 30-40 minutes, until golden brown. Can be served hot or at room temperature.

PUFF PASTRY WITH SPINACH AND FETA
The recipe makes 2 baking sheets full. We call it puff pasty pizza in our house and it tastes best at room temperature or cooled. Great for parties or a buffet, cause you can make it the day before. Use salt sparingly as feta cheese is salty.

EASY CHEDDAR SPINACH AND MUSHROOM PIE WITH PUFF PASTRY CRUST
This is a perfect luncheon dish! You will need a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate, I used fresh sliced mushrooms in place of canned that I sauteed firstly when I made this, and I also added in a small chopped red bell pepper but that is optional. If you use more than 1 cup sauteed fresh mushrooms I suggest to use a 10-inch pie plate instead of 9-inch and roll the puff pastry out a little larger.

THE ONE SPINACH APPETIZER PUFF
One of each ingredient (almost) makes this recipe easy to make. Perfect for any party or even to make a regular dinner a bit more special. These can be made ahead and kept in the freezer. When ready to serve, just pop in an oven or toaster oven for 5-10 minutes until heated through. (personally, I think these taste better when frozen and then reheated.)

Steps:
- Break egg into a bowl and beat with a whisk for 30 seconds.
- Add remaining ingredients and combine with a wooden spoon until well mixed.
- Let batter sit while greasing a mini-muffin pan and preheating oven to 375 degrees.
- Spoon batter into the mini-muffin pan to 3/4 full.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
- TIP: There will be leftover batter after filling the 24 - mini muffin pan. If you don't have a second pan, and you don't want to wait for the first batch to finish, use small foil tart cups for the last few, they may take a bit longer to cook. However, since these will disappear quickly, and they can be frozen, it is much easier to just double the recipe and just make 2 1/2 - 3 pans.

The following recipe is courtesy of Giada De Laurentis. Mini phyllo cups would also work well with this filling for smaller bite-size appetizers. Pastry shells may also be made using mini muffin cups with squares of puff pastry or puff pastry sheets may be cut into small squares to form pockets for the filling.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Wrap the spinach in a towel or paper towels and squeeze out as much excess moisture as you can. If you don't, the puff pastry may end up soggy. Combine the spinach, both cheese, the salt and pepper, and garlic powder in a medium bowl. In a small bowl, beat the egg and water together. Place the sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface. Roll it into a roughly 12x12-inch square, lifting and turning as you go to ensure it's not sticking. Brush a thin layer of the egg wash over the surface of the puff pastry, then spread the spinach/cheese mixture in an even layer. Roll the puff pastry like a jelly roll and pinch to seal at the seam. Cut the roll into approximately 20 1/2-inch slices and place on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of each lightly with the egg wash. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the pinwheels are golden brown.

SPINACH & BRIE PUFF PASTRIES RECIPE - (4.3/5)
Provided by MissAlyssaG
Number Of Ingredients 7
Steps:
- Preheat the oven 350ºF (180ºC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Put the spinach in a bowl; stir in half the beaten egg and the nutmeg. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Roll out the pastry on a floured surface into a rectangle (16 x 8-inch / 40 x 20-cm) and trim the edges. Lightly flour the top of the pastry and cut the rectangle into 4 pieces, each about 4 inches (10-cm) wide and 8 inches (20-cm) tall. Cut 1 inch (2.5-cm) thick wide strips diagonally on both sides of the pastry, leaving the center intact. Try to cut an equal number of strips on both sides. Lay pastries out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Divide the spinach equally between the squares, in the center, top it with brie slices then braid by crossing the strips over the filling alternating from side to side. Brush the tops of the pastries with the remaining beaten egg (add a tablespoon of water), then sprinkle some sesame and poppy seeds over each pastry. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until puffed and golden.
Tips:
- Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess moisture before using.
- To make the puff pastry dough from scratch, follow the recipe in the link provided in the article. If you are short on time, you can also use store-bought puff pastry dough.
- Be careful not to overwork the dough, as this will make it tough.
- Roll out the dough thinly, about 1/8 inch thick. If the dough is too thick, it will not cook evenly.
- Brush the dough with an egg wash before baking. This will help it to brown and give it a shiny crust.
- Bake the spinach puffs in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed up.
- Serve the spinach puffs warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Spinach puffs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a tasty treat that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for something to make, give spinach puffs a try!
