Cheesy Spinach Palmiers
You really can’t go wrong with these palmiers! Sweet or savoury, they work just the same. If you want it MEGA EASY, use pesto for savoury, and a hazelnut spread for sweet 😏
I used cottage cheese for mine to get a little more protein in, but if you don’t have that, you can use cream cheese instead.

THE RECIPE
MAKES 12
Ingredients
1 sheet puff pastry
270g frozen spinach
140g cottage cheese
50g cheddar cheese
40g sour cream
6 slices jalapeño, chopped finely
1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
¼ tsp ground coriander
2-3 stalks dill
1 egg, beaten
Salt, pepper
Directions
Preheat the oven to 180°C
Wilt the spinach, either over the stove, in a microwave, or at room temperature
Once wilted, squeeze out any liquid and chop up the spinach
In a large bowl, add the spinach, ground coriander, salt and pepper
Add the cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, sour cream, mustard, dill, and jalapeño
Mix well and spread it across the puff pastry
Roll each end of the pastry towards the middle, forming two mini pinwheels on each end
If the pastry has warmed up slightly, chill it in the fridge for 8-10min before baking
Brush the beaten egg over the pastry, and bake for 15-20mins, or until they get golden brown
Note
Your dough has to stay chilled as much as possible. So take it out only when you’re ready to use it, and pop it into the fridge for a couple of mins before baking if your kitchen is on the warmer side.
