INGREDIENTS

2 x 100g packets baby spinach, washed, drained
2 egg yolks
¼ cup (60ml) cream
125g fetta, crumbled
6 sheets filo pastry
40g butter, melted
2 teaspoons sesame seeds

METHOD

1. Preheat oven to 200°C or 180°C for fan-forced. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

2. Cook spinach in a saucepan on high heat, covered, for 3 minutes, until wilted. Set aside to cool. Squeeze out excess moisture with hands and pat dry with paper towel. Chop coarsely. Beat egg yolks and cream together. Add fetta and spinach and season to taste.

3. Brush one sheet of pastry with butter. Top with another pastry sheet. Cut into four. Place 1 heaped tablespoon of spinach mixture along long edge of one piece of pastry. Fold in sides and roll up to enclose filling. Continue with remaining pastry and spinach mixture to make 12 rolls.

4. Place rolls on prepared tray, seam-sides down. Brush each roll with remaining melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until crisp and golden. Serve piping hot.

layered the filo a bit more to ensure the case is crispy and instead of fetta I used ricotta. Really great, thanks.

I am requireed to do a schoo assignment in year eleven we are to cook a dish with a local ingreirent this looks delicious and easy, HOPE I PASS. Thanks.*

Great recipe that is quick to make... I have used this recipe for a school assignment. I gave my dad one and he said they would give him a belly ache if he ate more.. meaning that he would eat too many because they're delicious. I'd suggest making double the ingradients because they go pretty quickly if you are sharing xx

I am using this recipe for my Hospitality TEE assignment. I am required to create a menu for social occasions and be able to cook one item and to obtain another menu for finger party foods with the recipe being able to come from an outside source. Thanks to this recipe I passed. Thank you recipe finder.
