Print Recipe

A quick and easy homemade flaky puff pastry strudel filled with sautéed veggies and a touch of cheese, perfect for a comforting snack or meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 small carrot, grated
  • ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or oregano
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 4 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the sliced mushrooms and grated carrot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown, about 6-7 minutes.
  4. Season with salt, pepper, and dried thyme. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, gently roll the thawed puff pastry sheet into a rough rectangle about 12×10 inches (30×25 cm).
  7. Spread the cooled veggie mixture evenly down the center of the pastry, leaving about 2 inches of space on each side. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the veggies.
  8. Fold one long side of the pastry over the filling, then fold the opposite side over to meet it, overlapping slightly. Pinch the edges together to seal the strudel completely. Crimp edges with a fork if desired.
  9. Place the strudel seam-side down on the baking sheet. Brush the entire surface with the beaten egg. Sprinkle sesame or poppy seeds if using.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is puffed and deep golden brown. Watch closely near the end to avoid burning.
  11. Let the strudel cool on a rack for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Ensure the veggie filling is cooked thoroughly to remove excess moisture to prevent soggy pastry. Keep puff pastry cold before assembling. Use egg wash lightly for a golden crust. Rest the strudel after baking for cleaner slicing. Optional seeds add crunch and flavor. Can be made vegan by omitting cheese and using plant-based puff pastry.
