Ingredients

1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed
4 tablespoons butter, divided
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
4 ounces Gruyere cheese, grated
1 (17 1/2-ounce) package frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Drain spinach well, pressing between layers of paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook, for 5 minutes. Stir together spinach, mushrooms and cheese; set aside. Roll 1 pastry sheet into a 13 by 11-inch rectangle. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Brush 1/2 melted butter over pastry. Spread 1/2 spinach mixture over butter. Roll-up, jellyroll fashion, starting with the long side. Repeat procedure with remaining pastry sheet, butter, and spinach mixture. (Wrap rolls in plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 2 days, if desired.) Cut rolls into 1/4-inch thick slices. Place on lightly greased baking sheets. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown.

VERY DRY AND CRISPY
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I love Paula's recipes but this one wasn't my taste. I was expecting a flaky light pastry with moist cheese and spinach. ... Instead, all of the componets seemed to dry each other out. I'll keep looking! Read more

Could be better...
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I usually love Paula's stuff but this wasn't up to par. The cook time/temp must be incorrect, because at 350 for 15 minutes,... the dough on the insides were still raw. I tried a second batch at 400 for 20 minutes and it was much better; and had a nice crispiness on the outside. I also used some exotic mushrooms and they really added some additional earthy flavor.

Pedestrian bites - waste of puff pastry and Gruyere.
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I'm so disappointed! After reading the reviews I took everyone's advice and added garlic, onions, salt, pepper etc (and for... the people who complained that the recipe didn't list salt and pepper... really? Does it NEED to list salt and pepper as ingredients?!!) but even with those enhancements, these pretty pinwheels are just plain boring. Even after swapping out the mushrooms for sun dried tomatoes, it was still just... well... boring. They're neither fluffy and flaky nor cheesy or creamy.. there's just no distinguishing features texture wise or taste wise. And I think the reason they don't look anything like the pictures is because the ones in the picture are certainly not 1/4" thick before baking... they have to be more. 1/4" slices made them so thin. I'm desperately trying to wrack my brains to think of something I can put over them or dip them into or SOMETHING to make them more interesting for tonight's party. BOTTOM LINE: a package of frozen hors d'oeuvres would taste better, cost less and take no time at all. If you're going to put in the effort to chop, sautee, thaw, roll and bake ... choose a different recipe because this one will just be a waste of your time.Read more

Be creative
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I used a mediterranean cheese mixture (in a bag in the cheese aisle), frozen spinach, lots of dried onions and garlic. LOVED... IT! Best advice is to let the puff pastry thaw enough to use, but not to become soggy.Read more
