Pinwheels:
- 4 sheets gluten-free puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
- 200g spinach leaves, washed, dried well, and finely chopped
- 4 spring onions, finely sliced
- 150g Greek feta cheese, crumbled
- 50g Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 egg, whisked
- Salt and pepper to taste
Yogurt Dip:
- 150g Greek yogurt
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- Pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Filling: Preheat oven to 210°C (410°F) fan force. Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper. In a bowl, combine spinach, spring onions, feta cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Assemble Pinwheels: Spread the spinach and feta mixture evenly over each puff pastry sheet, leaving a small border at the top edge. Roll up tightly from the bottom edge and seal the edge.
- Slice and Brush: Slice each roll into 2cm thick pinwheels. Place them on the prepared baking trays and brush with the whisked egg.
- Bake: Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
- Make Yogurt Dip: While the pinwheels bake, combine all dip ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.
- Serve: Allow pinwheels to cool for 10 minutes before serving with the yogurt dip.
Air Fryer Instructions:
- Halve the recipe ingredients.
- Follow steps 1-3 above.
- Place pinwheels in a single layer in the air fryer basket lined with baking paper.
- Cook at 200°C (390°F) for 15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Notes
- Ensure spinach is thoroughly dried before using to prevent soggy pinwheels.
- For best results, use high-quality puff pastry.
- If making ahead of time, assemble the pinwheels and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
- These pinwheels are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
