Steps
Let’s prepare the filling.
Let’s focus on the quail eggs. Put them in a small pot with cold water and cook for 3/4 minutes from when it starts boiling.
Remove them from the heat and cool them under cold water,
Shell them gently and set aside.
Wash and dry the fresh spinach. Place them in a blender and chop finely.
Add the fresh ricotta, salt, and Parmesan, and blend until you get a creamy mixture.
Let’s prepare the croissants
Preheat the oven to 356 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Unroll the puff pastry and cut out 8 triangles with a knife.
Distribute a tablespoon of ricotta and spinach filling at the base of the triangles and add a boiled quail egg.
Roll up each triangle starting from the base toward the narrower end, thus forming the croissants.
Place them on the lined baking tray, brush them with the beaten egg yolk, and sprinkle with poppy seeds.
Bake for about 20 minutes until golden.
Our Paschal Savory Croissants are ready.
