1
Preheat oven to 400F.
-
2
Beat egg and water and set aside.
-
3
Mix shredded cheese, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, black pepper and salt.
-
4
Set aside.
-
5
Unfold pastry sheet onto lightly floured surface (That is important and it will stick, if it's not lightly floured!).
-
6
I use a sheet of wax paper on the counter for easy clean up and to roll up it up (you will see what I mean further down in the directions).
-
7
Brush pastry with egg mixture.
-
8
Sprinkle cheese mix on pastry.
-
9
Sprinkle Bacon on top of cheese mix.
-
10
Sprinkle spinach on top of bacon.
-
11
(I tear up tiny pieces with my fingers)
-
12
Roll up pastry, jelly roll style.
-
13
I use the wax paper to roll it up, and twist up the ends so it looks like a package.
-
14
Put pastry roll in freezer for at least 15 minutes to firm up just a bit.
-
15
Remove from freezer and slice.
-
16
I like mine thinner so I go just under 1/2 inch.
-
17
If anything falls out of the slice, when you place it on your baking sheet just stuff it back in the swirl.
-
18
Place swirls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
19
(This helps with clean up, and makes the bottoms crisp up nicely).
-
20
Brush top of swirls with egg mixture.
-
21
Bake for 14-16 minutes or until golden brown.
-
22
Best when served warm but still tasty when served after they have cooled.
-
23
TIPS: can use turkey bacon, or omit bacon for a meat free option.
-
24
Also can add diced pimentos for contrasting color.
