Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Thaw your puff pastry sheet as per package instructions, ensuring it’s soft enough to roll.

  2. Spinach & Feta: Combine chopped spinach, crumbled feta, and minced garlic.
  3. Ham & Cheese: Mix diced ham and shredded cheese.
  4. Mushroom & Thyme: Sauté chopped mushrooms with thyme in olive oil over medium heat until softened.

Step 3: Fill and Roll

  1. Lightly flour a surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth it.
  2. Spread your filling evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch border along one edge.
  3. Roll up the pastry, starting from the opposite edge and rolling towards the border side for a secure seam.
  4. Slice the roll into 1-inch thick pieces and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4: Bake

  1. Brush each roll with beaten egg for a golden finish.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
  3. Let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
