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
- â…› 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!

Storage

FAQ
