Creamy Spinach Roll-Ups

When it comes to party snacks, it’s all about that perfect blend of flavor, ease, and that “wow” factor your guests can’t stop talking about. Well, I’ve found a recipe that ticks all those boxes and then some: Creamy Spinach Roll-Ups. Whether you’re hosting a casual get-together, a festive celebration, or simply looking for a scrumptious snack, these roll-ups will not disappoint. Let’s dive into what makes them so special and, of course, how to make them.

Ingredients:

To get started, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 8 oz. Cream Cheese (Make sure it’s softened to ease the mixing process)
• 8 oz. Monterey Jack Cheese, shredded (For that irresistible, melty cheese pull)
• 1/4 tsp. Garlic Powder (Just enough to add a hint of spice)
• 1/4 Yellow Onion, diced small (For a subtle crunch and flavor)
• 1 – 10 oz. Package of Frozen Spinach, thawed and drained really well (The star of the show!)
• 1 Box of Puff Pastry Sheets (2 Sheets) (For that perfect, flaky exterior)
• 1 Egg (This will help seal the pastry)
• 1 Tbsp. Water (Mixed with the egg to create an egg wash)

With these ingredients, you’re on your way to creating a snack that’s as nutritious as it is delicious, thanks to the spinach and the protein-packed cheeses.

Directions:

Follow these simple steps to create your own Creamy Spinach Roll-Ups:

1. Prep the Egg Wash: Combine the egg and water in a small bowl and beat until well mixed. This egg wash will give your roll-ups a beautiful golden sheen.
2. Mix the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, garlic powder, and diced onion. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined. Then, stir in the spinach, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
3. Prep the Puff Pastry: Unroll your puff pastry sheets and gently brush both sides with the prepared egg wash. This not only adds color but also an extra layer of crispiness.
4. Assemble the Roll-Ups: Spread the cream cheese and spinach mixture over one side of each puff pastry sheet. Then, carefully roll up the puff pastry. Once rolled, slice into pieces — the size is up to you, but about an inch thick is a good standard.
5. Bake to Perfection: Place the roll-ups on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes, or until the puff pastry turns a gorgeous golden color.
