SPINACH GRUYERE PUFF PASTRY PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Wrap the spinach in a towel or paper towels and squeeze out as much excess moisture as you can. If you don't, the puff pastry may end up soggy. Combine the spinach, both cheese, the salt and pepper, and garlic powder in a medium bowl. In a small bowl, beat the egg and water together. Place the sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface. Roll it into a roughly 12x12-inch square, lifting and turning as you go to ensure it's not sticking. Brush a thin layer of the egg wash over the surface of the puff pastry, then spread the spinach/cheese mixture in an even layer. Roll the puff pastry like a jelly roll and pinch to seal at the seam. Cut the roll into approximately 20 1/2-inch slices and place on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of each lightly with the egg wash. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the pinwheels are golden brown.
