Spinach Feta Pinwheels
Throwback Thursday to these pinwheels- please excuse the photo quality as it was taken with a really old cellphone and put through some extreme filters. These can be made using pastry dough or croissant dough I used one packet of pre-made Croissant Dough. One packet made 12 of these pinwheels, they look really pretty and taste great warm or cold. If you like a little bit more spice add 1 tsp of red chili flakes.
Spinach Feta Pinwheels
Ingredients:
1 packet of croissant dough or puff pastry
1 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic
1 medium onion, diced
Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
1 tsp red chili flakes (optional)
¼ tsp nutmeg
150g spinach, roughly chopped
50g feta cheese, crumbled
1 packet of croissant dough or puff pastry
1 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic
1 medium onion, diced
Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
1 tsp red chili flakes (optional)
¼ tsp nutmeg
150g spinach, roughly chopped
50g feta cheese, crumbled
Method:
- Preheat the oven, as per the package directions on the dough you’re using.
- Heat the olive oil in a pan on medium heat and add the garlic and onions then sauté until they’re translucent but not brown.
- Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg then add the spinach and cook, stirring occasionally until the spinach is wilted.
- Roll out the dough then spread the spinach over it as well as the crumbled feta cheese.
- Roll the dough back up tightly before cutting it into pieces that are about 1 inch thick. I had to use a piece of string to cut the slices because using a knife just crushed everything together.
- Place on a lined baking sheet and bake on the middle rack of the oven for 10-15 minutes until they’re a light golden brown.
