Here's another recipe that looks like your spent a ton of time on, but really all you need is a box of Tenderflake Puff Pastry! Super easy! This is a little bit like spanakopita, but I lightened it up on the feta, used some cottage cheese and added roasted red peppers.
Spinach & Roasted Red Pepper Pastry Roll-Ups
Ingredients:
4 cups fresh spinach
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1 large egg
1 large clove garlic, minced
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup roasted red pepper, finely diced
1/2 pkg Tenderflake Puff Pastry
salt & pepper
flour for surface and rolling pin
1 tbsp egg-whites
Method:
Preheat oven to 425degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Pile spinach into a microwave-safe bowl and add a bit of water. Cover with saran wrap and microwave for about 1-2 minutes, until spinach is wilted. Strain spinach and allow to cool a bit - squeeze ALL of the moisture out - I even let it rest in a collander lined with paper towels to get the liquid out!
Once that's ready, give the spinach a bit of a rough chop and combine with the cottage cheese, feta, whole egg, garlic, parm, red pepper, salt & pepper.
On a lightly floured surface roll out the puff pastry. Cut into 4 squares.
Divide the filling equally between the 4 pastry sheets - spooning it evenly down one side.
Start rolling and arrange seam side down on the cookie sheet. Brush the tops with egg whites and bake for 25-30 minutes.
Once tops are nice and golden, remove from oven, let rest for about 5 minutes and serve! You could also cut smaller squares and make into mini-appies - nom nom!
These look delicious, I'm definitely going to have to try this. Following your blog now, looking forward to sharing with you!
ReplyDeleteI am going to add these to my Mouth Watering Mondays post this coming Monday. I would love this with a big salad for dinner for our once a week vegetarian night.
