Expert Tips

 

  • Use Frozen Spinach: If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze out excess water before sautéing.

  • Chill Before Cutting: Refrigerating the rolled pastry for 10–15 minutes before slicing helps retain its shape.

  • Customize the Filling: Add sun-dried tomatoes, olives, or nuts for extra flavor.

  • Serve with a Dip: Pair with a garlic yogurt dip or marinara sauce for added taste.
