Easy Savory Puff Pastry Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry thawed
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 onion sliced
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1 pound fresh spinach about 1 cup when cooked
- salt and pepper to taste
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried dill
Instructions
- Place the puff pastry on the counter to thaw.
- Melt the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onions and stir often until soft and golden.
- Wash and dry the spinach thoroughly, and then roughly chop.
- When the onions are done, add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Add the spinach along with black pepper to taste. Use tongs to constantly stir and turn the spinach just until wilted.
- Place the spinach, cream cheese, herbs, onion flakes, and salt in a large bowl. Mix well with a fork.
- Once the puff pastry is soft enough to handle, unfold the sheets and place on a lightly floured surface.
- Divide the cream cheese mixture between the two sheets of puff pastry, lightly spreading to cover the entire surface.
- Beginning with one edge, roll each pastry sheet into a log. Place the pastry on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and transfer to the fridge. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven at 400ºF.
- Remove the pastry from the fridge and cut into ½-inch slices. Place the slices back on the parchment lined baking sheet and bake for about 25 minutes or until golden.
- Set aside for a few minutes and serve warm.
- The pinwheels can be refrigerated in an airtight container for 2-3 days and also be served cold.
- If using frozen spinach, let it thaw and then squeeze well to remove as much excess moisture as possible.
