Vegetarian Pinwheels

Ingredients

2 packages crescent rolls 
8 ounces sheep milk feta cheese 
1 package of frozen spinach, defrosted 

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350º F.
2. Working with one package of crescent rolls at a time, lay the rolls out to make a fat rectangle (as opposed to a long, thin rectangle). Pinch the seems together. I find it helps to work with the dough on a lightly floured or greased piece of wax paper. Repeat with the other crescent rolls. 
3. Place the spinach in a paper towel and wring the excess moisture out.
4. Sprinkle the spinach across the surface of the dough rectangles, leaving about an inch on one side bare.
5. Break apart and sprinkle the feta cheese over the spinach.
6. Starting with the edge opposite the open edge, roll the dough into a cylinder. Use that extra space on one side to seal it closed.
7. Wrap in wax paper and put in the freezer for at least 10 minutes.
8. Slice cylinders into 1/2 inch slices, place face down on a greased cookie sheet and bake until the crescent rolls are golden brown.
