Description
Flaky puff pastry pinwheels filled with sautéed kale, creamy feta, and garlic for a savory, satisfying bite-sized treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 2 cups fresh kale, chopped
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add kale and cook until wilted, about 3–4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from heat and let cool.
- Roll out the puff pastry slightly on a lightly floured surface to even the edges.
- Spread the kale mixture evenly over the pastry and sprinkle feta cheese on top.
- Roll the pastry tightly into a log and place seam-side down. Chill for 10–15 minutes.
- Slice the log into 1/2-inch rounds and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush each pinwheel with beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Chill the rolled log before slicing for cleaner cuts.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Customize with other greens, cheeses, or spices to taste.
