  • 1 onion finely chopped large
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated

    Add onion to a heated, greased large frypan and stir until onion is soft.

    Stir in chopped spinach, cook until liquid has evaporated.
  • Step 5

  • Step 6
    Transfer spinach mixture to a bowl, cool slightly.
  • Step 7
    Stir in parmesan and season with salt and pepper.
  • Step 8
    Cut pastry sheets in half. Spoon ½ cup spinach mixture along one long edge of pastry strip. Brush the other long edge of pastry strips with beaten egg. Roll up to enclose filling and form rolls.
  • Step 9
    Place rolls seam-side down, brush tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with a little extra parmesan cheese, if desired. Cut each roll diagonally into 4 pieces. Place on a greased baking tray and bake for 20-25 minutes in a 200C oven, until golden.
