Description
Delightful savory swirls filled with spinach and artichokes, perfect as an appetizer or snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 puff pastry sheet
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/4 cup artichokes, chopped
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1/8 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- salt to taste
- fresh cracked pepper to taste
- red pepper flakes to taste
- 1 egg, beaten with 1 tsp water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and thaw the puff pastry sheet according to package instructions until pliable but still cold.
- In a bowl, combine the chopped fresh spinach, chopped artichokes, shredded Parmesan cheese, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, salt, fresh cracked pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Cut the thawed puff pastry sheet in half horizontally to create two equal-sized rectangular sheets.
- Spread the spinach-artichoke filling evenly over one half of the puff pastry sheet. Carefully place the second puff pastry sheet on top, creating a sandwich with the mixture enclosed between the two sheets.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the layered puff pastry into six even long strips along the length of the pastry. Twist each strip gently and roll it into a swirl, tucking the ends underneath to secure the shape during baking.
- Brush each swirl generously with the beaten egg wash to ensure a golden, glossy finish after baking.
- Place the prepared swirls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and fully cooked. Oven times may vary, so keep an eye on them towards the end of baking.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these savory swirls warm or at room temperature as a delightful appetizer or snack.
