Spinach Cheese Swirls

Spinach Cheese Swirls by DK on May 27, 2008

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.

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.

Cook time: Under 30 min
Prep time: Under 30 min
Serves: 2 people
Yields: Makes about 10-12 cheese swirls

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

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

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

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

4. Cut them into slices and either brush it with egg wash or butter.

5. PLace them in a baking sheet and bake them till golden.

6. Serve them warm. :)

Hi, I've been wanting to make this since quite a while.However I had a doubt.Is it puff pastry sheet or pie pastry sheet? puff pastry sheets are small, right? it won't be big enough to roll it like you've shown. please let me know. Thanks

What if I don't have pastry sheets available? Can i substitute with leftover pizza dough or something? Or will that rise in the oven and mess things up?

Hi I was wondering which brand frozen spinach you used? cause usually the frozen ones are quite bitter. thanks

Come to think of it - I have never seen what brand I buy. I have local health store where I buy all organic products and this Organic spinach is what I use. I never had the bitter taste. Will chk it out when I buy frozen ones next time and update here :)

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.
