Ingredients
 

  • 2 Frozen puff pastry
  • 2 Eggs
  • 500 g Fresh spinach
  • 200 g Feta
  • 2 Onions
  • 2 Garlic cloves
  • 0,5 tsp Thyme
  • 1 pinch Chili powder
  • 1 pinch Nutmeg
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 pinch Sugar
  • 50 g Butter
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 pinch Breadcrumbs

Instructions
 

  • Clean the spinach and spin dry. Heat the olive oil and butter in a pan and fry the diced onion in it. When they are lightly colored, add the garlic and then the thyme, nutmeg, salt and sugar.
  • Place the spinach on top and let it collapse. Then take out the spinach, place on a sieve and squeeze out the liquid. Spread the spinach on a large baking sheet and chill, then squeeze out again on a sieve. Then add an egg and breadcrumbs until the mixture is dry to the touch.
  • Crumble the feta cheese into the spinach and mix. Season to taste with salt, chilli, sugar and nutmeg.
  • Brush the puff pastry with the second beaten egg and spread the spinach on the puff pastry. Leave 1 to 2 cm margin at the top and bottom and roll up. Brush the lower strip with egg and roll it up. Do the same with the second roll; chill both rolls.
  • Cut 1 cm thick slices, place on baking paper, brush on top with whisked egg and bake at 200 ° C in a convection oven for 12 to 15 minutes until the snails are golden brown and the puff pastry is through.
