Understanding the Ingredients in Spinach Feta Pinwheels
- Puff pastry: Creates a nice, flaky buttery base.

- Shredded mozzarella cheese: Melts well and binds the filling ingredients together.
- Egg and milk (egg wash): Brushing on some egg wash will make the puff pastry crisp and golden brown.
- Green onion: Adds a nice fresh, zesty flavor.
- Garlic salt and pepper: Enhances and brings all the flavors together.
