These crispy Feta, Spinach & Ricotta Rolls made with puff pastry are the perfect lunch or light dinner! Make a batch and freeze any leftovers.
Everyone knows how good a batch of classic sausage rolls are, right!? And don’t even get me started on the awesomeness of my favourite chicken and vegetable sausage rolls. BUT! BUT!!! These Feta, Spinach & Ricotta Rolls take things to a whole new level of yumminess.
Yep, they’re vegetarian.
Yep, they’re delicious.
Yep, they’re super easy.
Yep, they’re freezer-friendly.
What more could you possibly want!!!??
The key to getting these little babies all crispy and delicious, is to really strain all of the liquid out of the spinach. I like to pop it into a strainer or colander and squeeze really hard with some paper towel.
Serve these Feta, Spinach & Ricotta Rolls warm with your favourite sauce or chutney. Mmmmm……!
Oh and if you’ve got any leftovers (which is unlikely given how insanely good they taste!), then simply pop them in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
So there you have it…. a delicious alternative to a sausage roll that will have you coming back for more (… and more.. and more!!).
Feta, Spinach & Ricotta Rolls
Ingredients
- 6 sheets puff pastry defrosted
- 250 g frozen spinach defrosted
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 200 g feta cheese crumbled
- 250 g ricotta cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp minced garlic (or 1 crushed garlic clove)
- salt and pepper to season
- 1 whisked egg to brush
- sesame seeds to sprinkle
Instructions
Conventional Method
- Preheat oven to 190 degrees celsius (fan-forced). Grease 3 flat baking trays with cooking oil spray and set aside.
- Place the defrosted spinach into a strainer and squeeze out all of the liquid using paper towel (see notes).
- Place the drained spinach, chopped onion, crumbled feta, ricotta, egg, garlic and salt and pepper into a bowl. Mix until well combined.
- Cut each pastry sheet into 6 equal sized rectangles (so you will have 36 rectangles in total).
- Divide the filling between 18 of the pastry rectangles (leaving the remaining 18 without filling). Ensure you place the filling into the middle of each pastry rectangle, leaving a small gap around the entire outside edge.
- Brush egg over the edges of the pastry rectangles that have the filling.
- Place a pastry rectangle (with no filling) onto the top of one of the filling pastry rectangles. Use a fork to join the two pastry sheets together into one rectangle. Repeat with the remaining pastry sheets.
- Use a knife to cut 2 small slits through the top pastry sheet.
- Brush over the egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Place onto the prepared trays and bake for 25 minutes or until golden.

Sounds super yummy!
Just wondering if you have a brand of frozen pastry you prefer to use?
Hi Jess… just whatever is on special at the time!!
Can you freeze them.
Sure can!
Do you freeze them before cooking or after please??
I freeze them after cooking so then they just need to be reheated. But you could absolutely freeze them beforehand if you prefer. xx
Thank you!!!
A very tasty take on the classic Greek spanakopita without the hassle of building up all those layers of filo pastry!
Absolutely!!
Can you use fresh spinach instead of frozen?
Absolutely!
