Spinach & Feta Pinwheels

Spinach & Feta Pinwheels

By: Lisa Holmen

The key to making a successful pinwheel is to have an even layer of filling over the pastry and to roll it up tight so it keeps its shape. I like to place the pastry in the fridge briefly prior to cutting it as it helps it firm up nicely.

Recipe


Ingredients

  • 250g frozen baby spinach, thawed & well drained
  • 100g feta, crumbled
  • 1/3 cup finely grated parmesan
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • Sea salt & pepper, to season
  • 2 sheets puff pastry, defrosted
  • 1 egg, lightly whisked

Method


  • Preheat oven to 220°C or 200°C fan-forced. Line 2 oven trays with baking paper.
  • Place the spinach, feta, parmesan and lemon in a bowl and stir to combine. Season well with salt and pepper.
  • Place the puff pastry on a chopping board, then top evenly with the spinach and feta mixture.
  • Roll pastry tightly using your fingertips until it resembles a log shape. Place in the fridge for 10 mins.
  • Cut the roll into 12 pinwheel slices using a serrated knife and place on the baking trays, leaving space between each slice. Brush each slice with egg.
  • Bake for 15 mins until browned slightly.
