These are absolutely delicious. I had my sister inlaw and her hubby visit on Friday for brunch and these were one of the dishes I served .

Ingredients
- 1 bunch English spinach large stems trimmed
- 1 onion finely chopped large
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated
- 3 sheets puff pastry partially thawed
- 1egg lightly beaten
- 250 g ricotta
Method
Preheat oven 200 °C or 180°C fan-forced- Rinse leaves well and place in large saucepan over medium heat, cook until leaves are wilted.
- Remove from heat, drain spinach, cool slightly, press firmly to remove excess liquid. Chop finely.
- Add onion to a heated, greased large frypan and stir until onion is soft.
- Stir in chopped spinach, cook until liquid has evaporated.
- Add ricotta. Continue stirring over heat until spinach and ricotta are combined
- Transfer spinach mixture to a bowl, cool slightly.
- Stir in parmesan and season with salt and pepper.
- 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.
- 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 or 180°C fan-forced oven, until golden.
