Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 20-25 minutes

Total Time: 35-40 minutes

Ingredients:

1 sheet puff pastry, thawed

1 ½ cups broccoli, finely chopped

½ cup feta cheese, crumbled

¼ cup shredded mozzarella (optional, for extra cheesiness)

1 clove garlic, minced

½ tsp black pepper

½ tsp dried oregano (or Italian seasoning)

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Sauté the broccoli: In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat, add minced garlic and chopped broccoli, and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened. Remove from heat.

Prepare the filling: In a bowl, mix the sautéed broccoli, feta cheese, mozzarella (if using), black pepper, and oregano.

Assemble the rolls: Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Spread the broccoli-feta mixture evenly across the pastry, leaving a small border along the edges.

Roll and seal: Gently roll the pastry into a log, sealing the edge with a little water. Slice into equal portions.

Egg wash: Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and flaky.

Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips for Perfect Broccoli & Feta Puff Pastry Rolls

Use fresh or frozen broccoli – If using frozen, thaw and drain well to avoid excess moisture.
Chop the broccoli finely – This ensures even distribution in the filling and makes rolling easier.
Don’t overfill – Too much filling can make the rolls burst open while baking.
Seal the edges well – Lightly brush with water or egg wash to prevent them from opening up.
Keep puff pastry cold – Work quickly so the pastry stays firm, leading to a flakier texture.
Use parchment paper – This prevents sticking and helps with easy cleanup.
Let them cool slightly before serving – This helps the filling set and enhances the texture.
