Spinach strudel

Inspired by spinach zelnik or spanakopita.

Ingredients
1 puff pastry sheet
2 eggs
1 tbsp water
0.5 lb frozen spinach
0.5 cup chopped feta cheese
0.25 cup semolina
0.25 tsp ground black pepper
salt to taste

Preparation
Thaw the spinach and and squeeze out the excess liquid. Mix with one egg, feta, semolina and the spices. Set aside.

Prepare puff pastry according to package instructions. Preheat oven to 375F. Roll pastry into a 12x17 inch rectangle. Load the filling on the bottom two third, facing the shorter edge, leaving an inch of clean pastry on the edges.

Roll up the pastry with the filling, starting from the short edge. Place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet seam-side down.

Brush with egg wash prepared by beating together the other egg and the water. Score and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

This dish freezes well.
