These Spinach and Three Cheese Rolls really need to come with a warning, as you won’t be able to stop yourself from eating just one – or three!
This recipe is basically the same as my Spinach and Ricotta Rolls with the added bonus of extra cheese, and who can refuse that?! Along with Ricotta, these rolls also have the added cheesy goodness of feta and parmesan cheese which give them sooo much extra flavour and make them irresistible when they are just out of the oven.
In preparation for our new bub’s arrival, I’ve been stocking up our freezer with our favourite easy dinners and snacks and have already had to replace our stash of these three times as they just keep ‘disappearing’! Along with the bonus of being freezer friendly, these Spinach and Three Cheese rolls are really versatile and are a great snack, fun party food option and also make a easy weekend meal.

Thanks Lauren for this great recipe. It was so easy and worked exactly as you instructed. I loved that there was no pre-cooking/cooling of the filling needed. I just mixed all the filling ingredients really well. Yes, I over filled the last one or two just to use up the remainder, but they still worked. Oven temperature was spot on too. Love your recipes.

Hi. Just wondering if the egg is completely necessary in this recipe?? I have an egg allergy in my house so can’t use it. I’m not really much of a cook normally so don’t know what else to replace it with. In cakes I replace the egg with aqaufaba but not sure it would work here..? Do you think this would still work by omitting the egg element altogether? Thank you. 🙂

Hi Natalie, you can definitely leave it out, just pop the mixture in the fridge to firm if you find it too soft
