Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Sauté the Spinach: In a skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped spinach, and sauté until the spinach is wilted. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from heat and let cool.
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine the sautéed spinach, ricotta cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
- Assemble the Rolls: Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into rectangles. Place a spoonful of the ricotta and spinach mixture in the center of each rectangle. Fold the pastry over to encase the filling and press the edges to seal.
- Brush with Egg Wash: Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
- Serve: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
