SPINACH ROLLS WITH PUFF PASTRY
A vegetarian version of mini sausage rolls but made with a spinach and feta filling. I used frozen spinach because it was a better buy than fresh at the time but the equivalent amount of fresh spinach, chopped and wilted, would do the job.

SPINACH PIE IN PUFF PASTRY (SPANAKOPITA)
Modified from a recipe by Ina Garten. We've made this a few times for dinner, and it turned out delicious as well as beautiful. The puff pastry is much easier to work with than phyllo dough, so this comes together fairly quickly.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375. Line a baking sheet with parchment (preferable) but you can use aluminum foil with a light spray of cooking oil.
- Melt butter and cook onions for a few minutes, until soft. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
- Beat eggs in medium bowl. Add cooked onion, spinach, feta, parmesan, bread crumbs. Add salt, pepper, & nutmeg. Mix well with fork.
- Place one unfolded sheet of puff pastry on the parchment or sprayed aluminum foil. Spread the spinach mixture over the pastry, leaving a border of one inch all around the edges. Keep the spinach flat; do not pile high.
- Brush the edges with the egg wash made with the last egg. Cover with the second sheet of pastry that has been slightly flattened with a rolling pin to one inch bigger than the first sheet. (This ensures all the spinach will be covered). Press edges together with fingertips or fork, making sure mixture is sealed well. Brush just the top with egg wash, careful not to drip any down the sides. Cut a few slits in the top with a sharp knife to allow steam to escape.
- Bake 30-40 minutes, until golden brown. Can be served hot or at room temperature.
Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, thaw the spinach completely before using. Press out any excess water to prevent the casserole from becoming soggy.
- For a richer flavor, use a combination of cheeses, such as mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan.
- Add some chopped cooked bacon or crumbled sausage to the spinach mixture for a savory twist.
- If you don't have puff pastry on hand, you can use a sheet of frozen phyllo dough instead. Just be sure to thaw it according to the package directions before using.
- To make a vegetarian version of this casserole, omit the bacon or sausage and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
Conclusion:
Spinach in puff pastry casserole is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy spinach filling and flaky puff pastry crust, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
