Ingredients

Ingredients All Recipes Require

  • 1 malawach round

  • 1 egg, beaten

Option 1

  • 60 grams frozen spinach, defrosted and liquid squeezed out

  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese

  • 1 and 1/2 tablespoons Ta’amti Classic Pesto sauce, divided

Option 2

  • 1 tablespoon olive dip

  • 2/3 cup goat cheese

  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint

  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil

  • 1 tablespoon zaatar, plus additional to sprinkle on top

Option 3

  • 1 tablespoon Ta’amti Classic Pesto sauce

  • 1/2 cup grated cheese (I used a cheddar and mozzarella blend)

  • 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese

  • 1 tablespoon chopped sundried tomatoes

  • 2 tablespoons chopped Gefen Olives

Directions

Prepare the Rugelach

1.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

2.

Remove malawach round from freezer. As soon as it is a tiny bit thawed, roll it out on a heavily floured surface.

3.

For option one – mix together spinach, ricotta, one tablespoon pesto, olives and pepper. Spread onto malawach gently. For option two – gently spread olive dip on malawach. Top with cheese, fresh herbs and zaatar. For option three – gently spread pesto on malwach. Top with cheese, sundried tomatoes, basil and olives.

4.

Using a pizza slicer, cut malawach round into 12 “pizza slices”. Roll each one up, starting from the outside. Place on Gefen Parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with egg and garnish with remaining pesto (option one), zaatar (option two) or sesame seeds (option three).

5.

Bake for 15–17 minutes, until lightly browned.
