Description
Spinach Dip Rolls are a delicious and unique appetizer featuring a flavorful filling wrapped in flaky puff pastry.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb. frozen spinach, thawed, drained
- 1 cup chopped marinated artichoke hearts (about 6 oz. drained)
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan
- 1/2 cup shredded Gruyère
- 1/2 cup shredded white cheddar
- 3 cloves garlic, grated or finely chopped
- 2 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
- Zest of 1 lemon (optional)
- 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 large egg
- 2 Tbsp. heavy cream
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
- 1 (17-oz.) pkg. puff pastry, thawed
- 2 Tbsp. everything bagel seasoning or toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the thawed and drained spinach with chopped marinated artichoke hearts, shredded cheeses, grated garlic, cream cheese, lemon zest (if using), crushed red pepper flakes, and kosher salt until well combined.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and heavy cream to create an egg wash. On a lightly floured surface, roll out both sheets of puff pastry to approximately 10″ x 10″ squares. Cut each square in half to form 2 rectangles each.
- With the longer edge of one rectangle facing you, pierce the dough all over using a fork. Spoon one-quarter of the spinach filling in a rope shape along the edge closest to you. Brush the farthest edge with the egg wash, then carefully roll the dough over the filling away from you, tightly wrapping it around the filling. Use a fork to gently crimp the edge to seal. Repeat with remaining pastry sheets and filling to create 4 logs. Place the logs on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 20 minutes to firm up.
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425°F (220°C). After chilling, slice each log into 4 equal pieces. Brush each piece with the egg wash and sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning or toasted sesame seeds.
- Bake the rolls in the preheated oven until the puff pastry is golden brown and crisp, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Make sure to thoroughly drain the spinach to avoid a soggy filling.
- These rolls can be made ahead of time and frozen before baking.
- Adjust the spice level by adding more or less crushed red pepper flakes.
