Pretty starter that can be made in advance

This spinach roulade with salmon and cream cheese is close to the perfect starter with fish. It is a really beautiful starter on the plate, both because of the fine spiral in the roulade, but also because of the beautiful green color from the spinach.

In addition, it is really good for having guests over, because it has to be made in advance and stand in the fridge rolled together a few hours before it is cut out. Just before it is to be served, you can cut it out and plate it with a little lettuce, lemon boats, and a good baguette.

Spinach base:

• 450 g spinach chopped and defrosted
• 4 eggs
• ½ dl milk
• 1 tsp salt

Filling:

• 300 g cream cheese natural
• 1 bundle dill finely chopped

Instructions

 

Spinach base:

• Turn the oven to 200 degrees Celcius.
• Put the thawed spinach in a sieve and squeeze the water out of it.
• Divide the eggs into yoaks and whites.
• Mix egg yolks, milk, drained spinach, lemon zest, salt and pepper together.
• Beat the egg whites very stiffly. Mix ⅓ in the spinach mixture, then carefully turn the rest of the whipped egg whites in, avoiding beating the air out of the dough.
• Spread the dough on a 40 × 30 cm baking sheet lined with baking paper. The dough should be about ½ cm thick.
• Bake the base at 200 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until firm and slightly golden.
• Let it cool for 5 minutes before removing the baking paper from the bottom so that it can cool completely.

Cream cheese filling:

• Mix cream cheese, dill, lemon juice and season with pepper.

Filling and rolling:

• Spread the cream cheese on the cooled base. Leave a few cm free on one of the long edges.
• Place slices of cold-smoked salmon on top of the cream cheese, then roll the roulade tightly together from the opposite side of the free edge.
• Wrap the roulade in cling film and put it in the fridge for at least 2 hours, so it is easier to cut.

Serving:

• Cut the roulade into slices of about 2 cm and serve 3 slices per person for starters. Serve the roulade with a little salad, lemon slices and bread
