These delightful savory swirls are perfect for any occasion, combining the rich flavors of spinach, cheese, and nuts in a flaky pastry.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and sauté the green onions and garlic until fragrant.
Cook until the garlic is just golden to avoid bitterness.
Add the spinach and basil to the skillet and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool.
Ensure the mixture is well-drained to avoid soggy pastry.
Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface into a rectangle. Spread the cooled spinach mixture evenly over the pastry.
Keep the edges of the pastry clean for easier sealing.
Sprinkle the feta cheese and pine nuts over the spinach mixture.
Distribute the toppings evenly for consistent flavor.
Roll the pastry tightly into a log and slice into 12 equal pieces. Place the slices cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Chill the log briefly for cleaner slicing.
Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese.
This step adds a golden, crispy finish to the swirls.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
