Spinach and Feta Roll-Ups

In a mixing bowl,combine chopped spinach,green onions,minced garlic,parsley and feta. Mix well.

When all 6 sheets are in place,arrange with one long end closest to you. Spread spinach mixture evenly over the top,leaving a 1-inch(2.5 cm) border on long end farthest away from you.

Step 7

Beginning with the long end closest to you,roll up jelly-roll fashion to form a log. With a sharp knife,score into 12 slices across the log,1-inch(2.5 cm) apart. Brush top of rolls with melted butter.

Step 8

Preheat oven to 400°F(190°C).

Step 9

Place rolls on baking sheet,lined with parchment paper. Bake in preheated oven until light golden,about 20 minutes.
