Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix spinach, feta, Parmesan, garlic, herbs, lemon zest, and pepper.
Roll puff pastry into a 9″×9″ square. Lightly flour if needed.
Spread the filling evenly over the pastry, leaving a border along one edge.
Roll tightly into a log from filled edge toward clean edge. Seal the seam with egg wash.
Slice into 1″–1½″ pinwheels. Place cut-side up on the baking sheet.
Brush tops with beaten egg. Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden and puffed.
Cool for 2–3 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Swap dill with basil, oregano, or chives for a flavor change.

Use goat cheese, ricotta, or mozzarella instead of feta.

Enhance with sautéed onions, peppers, or olives.

Spice it up with red pepper flakes or jalapeño.

Cut smaller for mini pinwheels and adjust bake time.
