How to Make Spinach Gruyere Puff Pastry

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Thoroughly drain 10 oz (280g) fresh spinach, pressing firmly between paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 8 oz (225g) sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
In a bowl, combine the cooked spinach, mushrooms, and 4 oz (115g) grated Gruyere cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Roll out one sheet of puff pastry (one 14.1 oz package) to a 13 x 11-inch rectangle.
Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
Brush half of the melted butter over the puff pastry.
Spread half of the spinach and Gruyere mixture evenly over the buttered pastry.
Tightly roll up the pastry like a jelly roll, starting from the long side.
Repeat steps 5-9 with the remaining puff pastry, butter, and spinach mixture.
Using a sharp knife, cut each roll into 1/2-inch thick slices.
Place the slices, cut-side up, onto the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
