Puff Pastry Spinach Roll

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    For 6 to 8 people, use the same filling of spinach and feta cheese as in the Creamy Fillo Spinach Pie (page 179).

    Step 2

    Cut 10 ounces puff pastry in half and roll each half into a long rectangle about 9 inches × 12 inches. Roll it out on a floured surface with a floured rolling pin. Keep turning the sheet of pastry over and over, dusting it with flour each time until it is very thin. Spread the filling in the middle in a band 9 to 9 1/2 inches wide to about 1 inch from the short ends at the top and bottom. Fold one side of the pastry over the filling, then fold the other side over the first, making a long parcel. Press the ends firmly to seal them. Place the two parcels on a greased baking dish, folded side down, brush with an egg yolk mixed with a drop of water, and bake in the oven preheated to 375°F for 35 minutes, until puffed up and golden. Serve hot.
