Spinach Roll - CDKitchen.com

serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  30-60 minutes

ingredients

2 pounds fresh spinach, washed, stemmed, steamed until tender
4 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 tablespoons onion, finely chopped
1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1 egg yolk
salt to taste
fresh ground black pepper to taste
1/2 package filo leaves, thawed and unrolled*
2 tablespoons butter, melted

directions

* Brush each leaf with melted butter then stack. Cover with damp towel.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Drain the spinach, squeezing out most of the water. Chop.

Melt the butter in a skillet and saute the onion until transparent. Add the spinach. Saute for 2 minutes.

Turn into a mixing bowl and beat in ricotta, Parmesan and egg yolk. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Lay the stack of filo leaves on a flat surface. Spread the spinach mixture over the surface. Roll the pastry into a tight "cylinder". Slice into 1-inch slices.

Arrange slices, cut side down, into a buttered baking dish. Drizzle melted butter over surface. Bake at 375 degrees F for 45 minutes. Serve at once.

NOTE: For cocktail appetizers, cut filo leaves in half, place 1 teaspoon filling on one corner and fold like a flag. Bake on greased baking sheet for 25 to 30 minutes.
