minutesIngredients
1 sheet puff pastry
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup fresh spinach
1 large egg
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp black pepper
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface until it is smooth and even, then brush with olive oil.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan evenly over the puff pastry, ensuring a generous coating for flavor.
- Chop the fresh spinach finely and scatter it over the cheese layer, pressing gently to adhere.
- Fold the pastry in half, sandwiching the filling, and cut into strips approximately 1-inch wide.
- Twist each strip several times and place on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
- Beat the egg and brush over the twists to give them a glossy, golden finish once baked.
- Season with black pepper before baking in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
