Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 450 Degrees F.
Line two baking trays with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium sauce pan over medium high heat, blanch spinach in water and lemon juice, roughly 2 minutes.
Carefully transfer spinach with remaining liquid to a food processor and pulse on low until finely chopped.
In a medium sized bowl, combine spinach, feta, mozzarella, green onion, nutmeg, salt and pepper and set aside.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 block of puff pastry into a 9 x12 inch rectangle.
Spoon half of the spinach mixture onto one half of rolled pastry leaving a 1⁄2 inch border edge.
Using your finger, run some water along the border.
Fold other half over mixture and gently seal edges.
Slice pastry horizontally into 9, 1- inch strips.
Gently twist each strip twice creating a spiral affect.
Place strips on parchment lined baking tray.
Evenly sprinkle 1 tbsp. of Parmesan cheese over twists.
Repeat with remaining pastry and filling.
Bake for 16 minutes until golden brown and puffy.
Remove from oven and serve warm.
