Spinach and Feta Spinrolls Appetizers

Simple and tasty make-ahead appetizers for your parties. I will post more recipes separately.

Ingredients 
½ lb frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 pack of frozen spinach
¼ pound feta cheese crumbled
1 egg yolk beaten with 3 tbsp of milk
¼ tsp nutmeg
Salt, pepper to taste

Directions
  1. Thaw frozen spinach in microwave or by dipping them in hot water. 
  2. Drain and squeeze the excess liquid. Chop the spinach. 
    • Note: You can also cook a bunch of fresh spinach and use ice to cool them quickly!
  3. Add the salt, pepper, nutmeg, and crumbled feta cheese.
  4. Flour a working surface generously (table or counter top). 
  5. Drop the dough on your surface, and flour the top of the dough as well so it won't stick to the rolling pin.
  6. Roll out the puff pastry into a 12"x20" rectangle around 1/8 inch thick. Add flour as needed if the dough sticks to the pin. 
  7. Spread the spinach mix over the pastry, making sure to leave an inch with no mixture on one side of the dough (to stick the end of the roll). 
  8. Roll up the rectangle (like a jelly roll!) and seal with water. 
  9. Wrap each roll in plastic wrap or parchment paper and freeze for one hour. 
Cook the Rolls
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
  2. Cut each roll into 3/8"-1/2" slices, place cut side up, on the baking sheet
  3. Brush with the beaten egg yolk and milk 
  4. Bake at 375°F for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
