Spinach And Feta Strudel Recipes

SPINATSTRUDEL (SPINACH STRUDEL)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Mix spinach, Parmesan cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream, shallots, 1 egg, garlic, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg together in a bowl until filling is well-mixed.
• Roll puff pastry onto a clean work surface, a little thinner at the edges. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Spoon the filling down the middle length of the pastry sheet. Crack 1 egg into a cup but do not beat it. Brush the edges of the puff pastry with egg white and close the pastry around the filling. Close the ends of the roll and carefully turn it over so the seam is on the bottom.
• Beat what remains of the egg; brush over the top of puff pastry and cut a few slits in the pastry.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the strudel is golden brown, about 30 minutes.

SPINACH AND FETA STRUDEL

Steps:

• For the dough
• Mix the flour with the egg yolks, working the mixture with a fork until blended, add the warm milk with melted butter, work until a smooth elastic dough forms, knead 8-10 minutes with the mixer or 20 minutes by hand. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour, it can be overnight.
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• For the filling
• In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat the oil and brown the onion for 5 minutes. Add the green onions or scallions and cook 2 minutes more. Remove from heat. In a large bowl mix the onion and chives together with the well-drained spinach. Add the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, nutmeg and pepper. Beat eggs until blended (30 seconds) and add to spinach mixture, stir well and add the feta cheese. Mix.
• On floured counter, roll the dough until very thin, you should be able to see through and be 15 "x 21". Move the dough on top of a tea towel and let stand 5 minutes to dry a little, brush with the vegetable oil. Spread the filling. Leaving 1" along the long side (21"). Roll up starting from the opposite long side, you want the strudel to be longer than fatter. Carefully place on an oiled baking sheet, give it a U shape, and brush with beaten egg.
• Bake 40-45 minutes until golden and crisp. Allow to cool in the baking sheet on wire rack and cut it warm. You can serve it cold or warm.
