Method

  1. To make the Puff Pastry Bundles with Spinach, Gorgonzola and Walnuts, start by cleaning the spinach, removing the darkest leaves and the roots, then wash it under running water and boil it in salted boiling water. Once it is cooked, drain it thoroughly and, when it is lukewarm, put it in a bowl with the gorgonzola, rind removed, and mix.
  2. Then add two eggs and the grated cheese and stir again with a spatula. Now take the puff pastry and roll it out into two rectangles about 3 mm (1/8 inch) thick, then cut out squares with a 7 cm (2 3/4 inch) square cutter and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Place a spoonful of the gorgonzola and spinach mixture on each square of pastry and close them by bringing the four corners to the center: brush with the remaining beaten egg, decorate with a walnut placed in the center and finally sprinkle with sesame seeds to taste. Bake at 200 °C (400 °F) for about forty minutes, or until your Puff Pastry Bundles with Spinach, Gorgonzola and Walnuts are golden and ready.
