Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped

  • 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed


Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

  • Stir in chopped spinach and artichokes until evenly incorporated.

  • Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.

  • Spread the spinach artichoke mixture evenly over the pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.

  • Roll the pastry tightly into a log.

  • Slice into 1-inch swirls and place cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.

  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

  • Let cool slightly before serving.
