Since we've been living on our own, we're free to cook to suit our preference - which has meant alot more veggies! I've been experimenting with vegetarian recipies, and found an AWESOME one last night. It's called Spinach Roulade. Here's the recipe:
Ingredients:
4 eggs
3 packages fresh baby spinach leaves
1/2 tsp nutmeg
3 handfuls brocolli floretts
1 handful parmesan cheese
2 handfuls mozzerella cheese
Tomatoe sauce (to serve)
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Boil the spinach leaves until droopy. Drain and press the remaining water out. Chop finely.
- Beat the eggs with the nutmeg. Add the chopped spinach and mix.
- Distribute the egg mixture evenly in a 9x13" bar pan (I use a stoneware barpan from The Pampered Chef. If you aren't using stoneware, be sure to grease the pan).
- Bake for 12 minutes or until the eggs have set. When the eggs are firm, sprinkle the surface with the parmesan. Replace in the oven until the cheese has melted.
- While the eggs are baking, steam the brocolli florettes until soft and shred the mazzerella.
- Carefully coax the sheet of baked eggs out of the pan using a spatual. Make sure the Paresan has set, then lay the eggs parmesan-side down on a sheet of wax paper.
- Spread the brocolli florettes and the mazzorella on the eggs. Roll up the eggs. Place roll on a large plate and cut in discs like a jelly roll. Serve with warm tomatoe sauce.
It's really yummy! It would make a great side dish as well - not to mention it looks cool. (This isn't what mine looked like, but it's the closest I could find. Picture the little red peppers in this one as brocolli.)

This sounds awesome! I'm going to try it. I love vegetarian food but one of the big bummers for me is that it often involves some grain, pasta or bready thing that I can't eat. But this is totally kosher for me! Thanks.
