SPINACH PUFF PASTRY ROLLS WITH FETA & RICOTTA

The spinach and cheese combination in a pastry is no-brainer really! I mean…there are a lot of places with a version of this dish (although mostly using phyllo pastry)–  In Albania, it’s called Byrek;  in Kosovo it’s Burek;  in Turkey it’s Borek or Bourek;  in Greece, it’s Spanikopita.

But I have also eaten savory spinach stuffed pastries in various cafe’s and coffee shops that use puff pastry too, which I have loved. So I thought why not try making them myself at home…and Voilà!
