Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease 2 baking sheets.
Use a fork to beat the egg and water together in a small bowl.
In a medium bowl, stir together the onion, garlic powder and both cheeses.
Unfold the pastry sheet on a work surface that has been sprinkled with 2 T. flour. (You might want to roll the sheet out just a bit to make it a little larger and not quite so thick.)
Brush the pastry sheet with the egg mixture., saving the remaining for right before baking. Top with the cheese mixture and spinach. Starting at a short side, roll up like a jelly roll. Cut into about 20 (1/2 inch) slices.
Place the slices, cut-side down, on the prepared baking sheets; brush with the egg mixture.
Bake 15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown. Remove the pastries from the baking sheets. Let cool on wire racks for 10 minutes.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
Makes 20 pieces for about 10 servings.
* For best results, remove as much liquid as possible from the spinach before adding it to the pastry. If it's too wet, it will make the pastry soggy.
