Ingredients
  

For the Swirl Filling
  • 1 sheet Puff Pastry Essential for that flaky texture; there are no suitable substitutes.
  • 1 cup Fresh Spinach, Chopped Adds vibrant color and freshness; thawed, drained frozen spinach can substitute but may alter texture.
  • 1/4 cup Artichokes, Chopped Provides tanginess; opt for canned or jarred varieties that aren't marinated for best flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese Adds a nutty, salty flavor and binds the filling well; you can use grated mozzarella as a milder alternative.
  • 1/8 cup Cream Cheese, Softened For creaminess and depth; ricotta can be used for a lighter taste.
  • 1/4 cup Mayonnaise Contributes moisture; Greek yogurt works as a healthier substitute.
  • 1 clove Garlic, Minced Enhances the overall flavor; adjust based on your taste preference.
  • to taste Salt & Fresh Cracked Pepper Essential for seasoning; enhances the flavors of the spinach and artichokes.
  • to taste Red Pepper Flakes Optional heat enhancer; adjust according to your spice tolerance.
For the Egg Wash
  • 1 large Egg Gives a beautiful, golden finish; substitute with milk or water for a vegan alternative.

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow the puff pastry to thaw on a clean countertop.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine spinach, artichokes, Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes until smooth.
  3. Cut the thawed puff pastry sheet in half and spread the filling evenly on one half, leaving a small border.
  4. Place the other half of the puff pastry on top and seal the edges, then slice into six strips and twist each into a spiral shape.
  5. Beat the egg with a teaspoon of water to create an egg wash and brush over each swirl to ensure a golden finish.
  6. Arrange the swirls on a lined baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes, until golden brown.
  7. Allow the swirls to cool slightly before serving them warm as an appetizer or snack.
