Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Prepare the filling by chopping the roasted red pepper into small pieces.

Chop sundried tomatoes into small pieces.

In a bowl, combine crumbled feta cheese, cream cheese, chopped roasted red pepper, chopped sundried tomatoes, grated lemon zest, salt, pepper, and a handful of ripped dill.

Cut baby spinach into small pieces with scissors and add to the mixture.

Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.

Roll out the thawed puff pastry with a rolling pin to make it thinner.

Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the puff pastry, getting close to the edges.

Sprinkle a thin layer of grated mozzarella cheese over the filling.

Roll the puff pastry tightly from one end to the other to form a log.

Chill the rolled puff pastry in the fridge for about 10 minutes to firm it up.

Remove the chilled pastry and cut it into slices about 2/3 of an inch thick.

Place the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each one.

Beat the egg and brush it over the top of each pastry slice for a glaze.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden and crispy.
