To get started with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can cook bacon spinach swirls using 11 ingredients and 16 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make Bacon Spinach Swirls:
  1. Prepare 1 puff pasty sheet, thawed
  2. Get 1 egg
  3. Make ready 1 tbsp water
  4. Prepare 1/2 cup Pepper Jack Cheese, Shredded
  5. Get 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
  6. Prepare 1/3 cup green onions, finely chopped
  7. Make ready 8 slice bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
  8. Take 1/2 tsp salt
  9. Get 1/2 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
  10. Prepare 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  11. Get 1 packages of frozen spinach, 10 oz., thawed and drained well

Roll out the puff pastry and place a single layer of bacon. Watch how to make this recipe. In a large saute pan, melt the bacon grease over medium heat. Throw the spinach into the skillet and cook it until it considerably reduces its weight.

Steps to make Bacon Spinach Swirls:
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Beat egg and water and set aside.
  3. Mix shredded cheese, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, black pepper and salt. Set aside.
  4. Unfold pastry sheet onto lightly floured surface (That is important and it will stick, if it's not lightly floured!). I use a sheet of wax paper on the counter for easy clean up and to roll up it up (you will see what I mean further down in the directions).
  5. Brush pastry with egg mixture.
  6. Sprinkle cheese mix on pastry.
  7. Sprinkle Bacon on top of cheese mix.
  8. Sprinkle spinach on top of bacon. (I tear up tiny pieces with my fingers)
  9. Roll up pastry, jelly roll style. I use the wax paper to roll it up, and twist up the ends so it looks like a package.
  10. Put pastry roll in freezer for at least 15 minutes to firm up just a bit.
  11. Remove from freezer and slice. I like mine thinner so I go just under 1/2 inch. If anything falls out of the slice, when you place it on your baking sheet just stuff it back in the swirl.
  12. Place swirls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. (This helps with clean up, and makes the bottoms crisp up nicely).
  13. Brush top of swirls with egg mixture.
  14. Bake for 14-16 minutes or until golden brown.
  15. Best when served warm but still tasty when served after they have cooled.
  16. TIPS: can use turkey bacon, or omit bacon for a meat free option. Also can add diced pimentos for contrasting color. - - I usually get 20-24 swirls out of one sheet of puff pastry, depending on how thick I cut them. - - If they are hard to cut, wrap them back up and throw them back in the freezer. They are easier to cut when partially frozen.

In a large saute pan, melt the bacon grease over medium heat. Throw the spinach into the skillet and cook it until it considerably reduces its weight. Use a large bowl and add the cream cheese, cooked spinach, onion, and mozzarella. For Ham & Broccoli Swirls, omit the spinach, cheeses, onion and garlic powder. Unfold the pastry sheet and brush with the egg mixture as directed above.
