Method
Prepare the Ingredients
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic for 2 minutes until softened.
- Add baby spinach to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool.
2. Make the Filling
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and one egg.
- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and mix until evenly combined.
3. Prepare the Puff Pastry
- Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a floured surface and cut into 6 or 12 equal squares, depending on your desired size.
- Place the squares on the prepared baking tray.
4. Assemble the Pastry Rolls
- Spoon a portion of the spinach mixture into the center of each pastry square.
- Fold two opposite corners of the square over the filling, pressing them together to seal.
5. Brush and Garnish
- Lightly brush each pastry roll with egg yolk for a golden, shiny finish.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added texture and flavor.
6. Bake to Perfection
- Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 25-35 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Alternative Fillings: Experiment with mushrooms, caramelized onions, or feta cheese for a new twist.
- Make Ahead: Assemble the rolls and refrigerate them covered until ready to bake.
