Spinach Omelet Roll

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 190 °C (375 °F).

2. 2

   Line a 33 x 23-cm (13 x 9-inch) baking Pyrex dish with parchment paper and butter.

3. 3

   In a saucepan, brown the bacon. Remove some fat, if necessary.

4. 4

   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.

5. 5

   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.

6. 6

   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.

8. 8

   Bake at the bottom of the oven for about 15 minutes.

9. 9

   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.
