Ingredients
-
250g baby spinach
-
2 cloves garlic, chopped
-
200g grated Gouda cheese
-
2 eggs
-
1 package (175-200g) of full-fat cream cheese like Philadelphia
-
juice of half lemon
-
smoked salmon, about 6-8 slices
-
salt and pepper
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 180C.
2. Place spinach in a pot with 1 cup of water and bring it to boil. Let it boil for about 4-5 minutes stirring occasionally until wilted. Drain thoroughly and chop. Stir the garlic into the spinach, mix well with eggs, salt and pepper.
3. On a baking tray place a sheet of baking parchment, spread the spinach mixture on it, smooth the surface and sprinkle liberally with Gouda. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to cool slightly.
4. For the filling mix the cream cheese and season it with lemon, salt (not adding too much as the smoked salmon is quite salty) and pepper. Spread the filling over the spinach/Gouda layer using a palette knife. Top the filling with smoked salmon.
5. Using the parchment paper to help you, roll up the roulade pushing it away from you while rolling to make a tight swirl. Cover it with a foil and refrigerate for few hours or overnight.Trim the ends and chill the roll until ready to serve.
