HEALTHY APPETIZER - SALMON SPINACH ROLL| Spinach Roll | Cooking with Spinach | Savory Baking Recipe

Hey guys and welcome to my channel! Today I'm making a healthy appetizer salmon spinach roll. This colorful and inviting appetizer is very easy to make and can be made ahead of time for any occasion. To make the roll we'll need fresh or frozen spinach, eggs, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, sugar, salt and vegetable oil. All the ingredients need to be at room temperature and the exact amount of ingredients can be found below this video. If you're using frozen spinach like I am today, you need to defrost the spinach ahead of time and squeeze out all the excess liquid. If you're using fresh spinach, use a blender to chop the spinach and set aside. Start by carefully separating the eggs into egg whites and yolks. Don't allow even a drop of water, fat or yolk to get into the egg whites. It is very important. I'm using the three-bowl method to separate the eggs just to make sure I'll do it right. Also make sure that all the mixing bowls, hand mixer, whisks or anything else that will touch the egg whites are very clean and dry so no residual oil or fat is left behind to disturb or deflate it. Next add the sugar, vegetable oil and prepared spinach to the egg yolks. Mix it all together. Add the flour, cornstarch and using a spatula mix again. Keep in mind that if you're using frozen spinach the mixture will look more dry than if you're using blended fresh spinach. Add the salt to the egg whites and using a hand mixer beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Add about half of the egg whites to the spinach mixture and using a spatula mix all together. Add the second half of the egg whites to the spinach mixture and mix again until it reaches a smooth consistency. Transfer the spinach mixture into a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and spread it evenly. Make sure to use a bigger size paper than the baking sheet. Bake it at 350 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes. When the spinach cake is baked cover it with another piece of parchment paper and a kitchen towel. Carefully flip the baking sheet and remove the baking paper that was on the bottom of the baking pan. Let the cake cool completely. To make the filling we'll need cream cheese, heavy cream and smoked salmon. In a mixing bowl combine the cream cheese and heavy cream. Using a spatula mix it together to break down the big chunks of cream cheese. Then using a hand mixer beat the cream cheese and cream until it reaches a soft and spreadable consistency. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly onto the spinach cake and top with the smoked salmon. Then carefully roll all together. Wrap the roll with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least two hours. Slice the spinach roll using a sharp knife and enjoy this beautiful and healthy appetizer. I really hope that my video is useful to you and inspires you to make this salmon spinach roll.
