Savory Spinach Pastries

So I was strolling through the aisles of Wal-Mart (No, I have nothing better to do. I live in Selma, AL. 'Nuff said.) and I saw a box of puff pastry.  My mom used to bake puff pastry biscuits for us and those memories prompted me to put a box in my shopping cart. I love puff pastry because there are so many ways to prepare it.  I chose a savory recipe to go along with the pasta I made that day.  Here is a quick recipe that I found on the back of the box with some of my alterations. 

Ingredients:

• 1 sheet of Fillo Pastry (1/2 packet)
• 1 package of frozen spinach defrosted and drained of water
• 1 green onion
• Garlic powder
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese - grated
• 1/2 cup mozzerella or muenster cheese
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp water

Directions:

1. 
   
   Preheat oven to 400
2. 
   
   Thaw the puff pastry which takes abt 40 mins.
3. 
   
   Mix the egg and water in a small bowl
4. 
   
   Mix the onion, garlic powder and cheeses in a bowl
5. 
   
   Open the puff pastry sheet carefully and brush it with the egg.
6. 
   
   Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly
7. 
   
   Sprinkle the spinach evenly
8. 
   
   Roll it up as tightly as you can starting from the shortest side of the puff pastry square. You may want to put the roll in the frozen for about 15 minutes to firm it up. This will make it easier to slice through the roll.  If you don't and the slices start to flatten as you cut them, you can still fix the shape on the baking sheet.  They still turn out beautiful.  I had that problem and look how mine turned out!
9. 
   
   Cut 1/2 inch slices.... and place on baking sheet.
10. 
    
    Brush slices with egg mixture
11. 
    
    Cook for 15-20 minutes

So easy! For my strict vegetarians out there you can try using evaporated milk, as Aisha did suggested. Otherwise, it will taste  dry and flaky.
