Ingredients

Scale

Phyllo Pastry

  • 1 package of phyllo pastry

Cheeses

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Vegetables

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen spinach

Flavorings

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 egg
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Other

  • Olive oil for brushing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Start by thawing the frozen spinach if using, then squeeze out any excess moisture. In a skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat, add minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant. Stir in the spinach and cook for a few minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before mixing in ricotta, Parmesan, egg, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Assemble the Rolls: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lay out a sheet of phyllo pastry, brush it lightly with olive oil, and layer another sheet on top. Place a spoonful of the filling along one edge, then fold the sides over and roll it tightly to form a log. Repeat this process until all the filling is used.
  3. Bake: Place the assembled rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush the tops with more olive oil. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t burn.

Notes

  • Ensure your phyllo pastry is cold and work quickly to prevent it from drying out.
  • Don’t hesitate to get creative with your fillings to make them your own.
  • If possible, use fresh spinach for a vibrant flavor and texture.
  • Be careful not to overstuff the rolls to prevent them from bursting during baking.
  • A good brush of olive oil on the pastry ensures a beautiful, golden color.
