Ingredients

1 sheet puff pastry

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup fresh spinach

1 large egg

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp black pepper


Directions

1.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

2.

Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface until it is smooth and even, then brush with olive oil.

3.

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan evenly over the puff pastry, ensuring a generous coating for flavor.

4.

Chop the fresh spinach finely and scatter it over the cheese layer, pressing gently to adhere.

5.

Fold the pastry in half, sandwiching the filling, and cut into strips approximately 1-inch wide.

6.

Twist each strip several times and place on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.

7.

Beat the egg and brush over the twists to give them a glossy, golden finish once baked.

8.

Season with black pepper before baking in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
