After rolling out the sheet, spread with cream cheese evenly. Then add the sauteed spinach mixture and spread leaving about 1/2" inch to the sides. Sprinkle cheese, dash of salt and pepper.

Apply little water to the edges ,roll and seal the edges.

When done, cover with a plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to make them firm. Place them on a cutting board, cut them into 1" slices.

Line a baking tray with parchment paper or aluminium foil(use cooking spray if using foil)and arrange the pinwheels with cut side down. Mix egg mixture with little water and brush over them to give a glossy look.

Preheat the oven to 400F and bake for 15 minute or until the top looks golden. Serve warm or at room temperature with Ketchup.
