8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup grated Parmesan

1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed but still cold
1 large egg

2. On a floured surface, unroll puff pastry and spread spinach mixture evenly, leaving one long edge uncovered.
3. Roll tightly from the filled edge into a log, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate 30 minutes.
4. Preheat oven to 400°F and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
5. Slice log into 1/2-inch rounds and place on the baking sheet.
