Spinach Omelet Roll
Ingredients
- 6 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 bags 171 g fresh spinach, coarsely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper
- 1/3 cup (75 ml) butter
- 1/3 cup (75 ml) flour
- 1 cup (250 ml) milk
- 1 1/2 cups (375 ml) cheddar cheese, grated
- 5 eggs, separated
- Nutmeg to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190 °C (375 °F).
- Line a 33 x 23-cm (13 x 9-inch) baking Pyrex dish with parchment paper and butter.
- In a saucepan, brown the bacon. Remove some fat, if necessary.
- Add the onion and cook until tender. Add the spinach and garlic. Cook until the spinach has wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside in a bowl.
- Clean the saucepan and melt the butter. Add the flour and cook for 1 minute while stirring. Add the milk and stir until it thickens.
- Add 250 ml (1 cup) of cheddar cheese and blend well. Remove from the heat and add the egg yolks. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
- In a bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Fold into the béchamel sauce. Spread this mixture in the baking dish. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake at the bottom of the oven for about 15 minutes.
- Right out of the oven, flip the omelet on a clean cloth and remove the parchment paper. Spread the remaining cheese and the well-drained spinach on the omelet.
- Roll firmly to get a 23-cm (9-inch) long roll. Wrap in foil and reheat in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Slice to serve.
