Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 220°C. Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper. Place the spinach in a heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water and set aside for 5 mins to wilt. Drain well and set aside to cool. Use your hands to squeeze out the excess liquid. Discard the liquid. Coarsely chop spinach and transfer to a bowl. Stir in the spring onion, lemon rind, ricotta and mozzarella. Season.
Step 2
Cut each pastry sheet into 4 squares. Cut each square in half diagonally to make triangles. Spoon 2-tsp portions of spinach mixture along the long edge of each triangle. Brush edges with egg. Starting from the long edge, roll up pastry to enclose filling and curl in the ends to make croissant shapes. Place on lined trays, 3cm apart. Brush with a little more egg.
Step 3
Bake on the top and bottom rack, swapping the trays halfway through cooking, for 15-20 mins or until golden and puffed. Cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or individually wrapped in the freezer for up to 3 months.
