Looking for a delicious way to start your next gathering? Spinach roulade is the perfect choice—a savory and nutritious appetizer that’s as pleasing to the palate as it is to the eye.
Ingredients:
- 4 cups fresh spinach leaves, washed and chopped
- 4 large eggs, separated
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Pinch of nutmeg
Instructions:
- Prepare the Spinach Mixture:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large skillet, wilt the chopped spinach over medium heat until it’s tender and most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Make the Batter:
- In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, Parmesan cheese, ricotta cheese, Greek yogurt, flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and nutmeg until smooth.
- Whip the Egg Whites:
- In a separate clean bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Combine and Bake:
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the spinach mixture until well combined.
- Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, smoothing the top.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the roulade is set.
- Roll and Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Carefully roll the roulade from the short end using the parchment paper as a guide. Allow it to cool completely before slicing.
- Presentation:
- Slice the roulade into rounds and serve as an appetizer or light meal. Garnish with fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil, if desired.
