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:
- Prep time:
- 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. :)

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.
