This is another of those party favors which look not only elegant and yummy but are v simple to make and the prep takes hardly any time and effort. This appetizers not only boasts of simplicity and grandeur but also of such a succulent taste that the entire package is mind blowing. I adapted this recipe from what a colleague made for us during one tea time meeting and I have fallen love with it since then.

Spinach Cheese Swirls

So will you, once you make them too. Most of your kitchen’s will already have these ingredients at hand, so its a quick one to make.You can use any variation as you please.

    Ingredients

  • 1 puff pastry sheet, thawed at room temp
  • 1 cup of frozen spinach, thawed and all moisture squeezed dry
  • 2-3 spring onions, chopped
  • Italian seasoning – or simple salt/pepper
  • 1/4-1/2 cup mixed cheese, grated

Method

Preheat Oven to 400F. Lay out the pastry sheets on a floured surface and spread it with cheese.

Spinach Cheese Swirls

Mix the spinach, onions and seasoning in a bowl and then spread it over the cheese.

Now slowly roll the sheet from the shortest end closer to you – like a jelly roll.

    i have sheets lying in the fridge along with spinach and i got home grown spring onions!!! just need what temperature should I bake these and should I preheat? and for how many min.s..this info would be great…

    Ihave grated mozarella cheese only/Would it be ok? or becomes soggy?? what is the best cheese to try these swirls? pl let me know dhivya…
    thanks for the help

    Hi Madhuri, I have mentioned in the post itself – Oven temp is 400F. Baking time may vary from Oven to Oven. Once about 10 minutes are over, keep checking for golden and puffy exterior. You can use any cheese u like. Mozarella sounds great. Some parmesan/ Monterey Jack cheese would b great too.

    You’re right – elegant and delicious are two words that would come to mind but not emphatic enough to describe how interesting this is.
