Introduction

These savoury scrolls are delicious and filling and the hardest part of the entire recipe is waiting for the onion to cool

The classic combination of spinach and feta is given a boost with the addition of softly cooked red onion and a hint of nutmeg

Ingredients

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 210° C, conventional oven and line two large baking trays.

Step 2

Finely chop your onion and then cook it gently in the olive oil until softened and caramelised.

Step 3

Remove from heat and sit aside to cool.

Step 4

Place the spinach into a strainer and push on it to remove as much liquid as possible (this stops your scrolls going soggy)

Step 5

Lay a sheet of baking paper out on the bench, at least as long as two sheets of pastry.

Step 6

Beat the egg with the water.

Step 7

Lay one sheet of pastry out and brush one edge with the egg mixture.

Step 8

Lay one sheet of pastry out and brush one edge with the egg mixture.

Step 9

Sprinkle the entire sheet with the shredded mozzarella, leaving a 2cm gap at one short end.

Step 10

Pull the spinach apart and scatter over the top of the shredded cheese and then sprinkle with nutmeg, salt and pepper.

Step 11

Scatter the red onion over the top and then finish off by crumbling the feta all over the fillings.

Step 12

Paint a layer of egg wash over the gap at the end of the sheet.

Step 13

Starting at the short end that doesn’t have the gap, start rolling your pastry up into a log, using the baking paper to help.

Step 14

Make sure that the join is sitting underneath the roll and let it sit for 5 minutes to help create a good seal.

Step 15

Then, using a very sharp knife, carefully cut the log into twelve even slices.

Step 16

I cut my log into half, then quarters and then each quarter into three slices.

Step 17

Lay the slices out flat on your lined trays and then brush them with the remaining egg wash.

Step 18

Bake for 25 minutes. These slices can be portioned out and frozen.
