Ingredients

• 8 ounces frozen spinach, thawed
• 6 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1 cup shredded sharp white cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped yellow onion
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon sea or kosher salt
• ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 egg
• 1 sheet puff pastry (9×9-inch), thawed
• Grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish

How to Make 3-Cheese Spinach Puff Pastry Roll-Ups

1. Prepare the Spinach Filling:

• In a colander, squeeze all excess water out of the thawed spinach. This step is crucial to prevent the filling from being too wet.
• In a medium bowl, combine the spinach and room-temperature cream cheese using a fork. Stir in the shredded sharp white cheddar, chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is well combined.

2. Prepare the Puff Pastry:

• On a floured work surface, unfold the thawed puff pastry. Using a rolling pin, gently roll it out to ensure it’s even.
• In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
• Brush the entire surface of the puff pastry with the egg wash.

3. Fill and Roll:

• Spread the spinach and cheese mixture evenly over the puff pastry, making sure to go from edge to edge for even distribution.
• Roll the puff pastry tightly from one side to the other, forming a log. Cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm up the roll, making it easier to slice.

4. Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

5. Slice and Bake:

• After chilling, place the puff pastry roll back on the floured surface and brush the top with more egg wash.
• Using a serrated knife, slice the roll into ½-inch thick slices. Place the slices on the parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
• Bake for 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is cooked through.

6. Serve:

• Remove the roll-ups from the oven and sprinkle them with grated Parmesan cheese.
• Serve warm and enjoy these cheesy, flaky bites!

Equipment

• Colander
• Medium mixing bowl
• Rolling pin

• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper

Storage

• In the Refrigerator: Store leftover roll-ups in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to keep them crispy.
• In the Freezer: Unbaked slices can be frozen for up to 1 month. Freeze them on the baking sheet first, then transfer them to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

What to Serve with 3-Cheese Spinach Puff Pastry Roll-Ups

These roll-ups are perfect as an appetizer or snack, and they pair wonderfully with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. You can also serve them with a fresh salad for a light lunch.

Tips

• Thaw Puff Pastry Properly: Make sure to thaw the puff pastry in the refrigerator or at room temperature according to the package instructions. Don’t rush this process, or the pastry may tear when rolling.
• Squeeze Spinach Well: Be sure to thoroughly squeeze out any excess water from the spinach to avoid soggy pastry.

FAQ

Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! You can assemble the roll-ups and refrigerate them until ready to bake. They’re a great make-ahead appetizer for parties.

Can I use fresh spinach instead of frozen?
Absolutely! Just sauté the fresh spinach until wilted, then squeeze out any excess moisture before mixing with the other ingredients.
