Spinach roulade is a baked savoury dish made from a spinach-flavoured egg souffle rolled around a cream cheese or ricotta filling. It provides protein and fat-soluble vitamins from the eggs, calcium from the cheese filling, and folate, iron, vitamin K, and beta-carotene from the spinach. It is moderate in calories (~180–220 kcal/100g) and relatively high in fat from the cheese filling.
Ensure the roulade base is not overbaked — it should be just set and springy when removed from the oven, as it will crack when rolling if over-cooked. Roll while warm using a sheet of greaseproof paper to support the shape, then chill before slicing.
