Ingredients

• 250 grams Fresh spinach
• 200 grams Ricotta cheese
• 100 grams Cream cheese
• 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 loaf Crusty baguette
• 30 grams Butter
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves
• 10 pieces Fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

Blanch the spinach in boiling water for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Drain it well, squeezing out excess water, and chop finely.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the spinach, ricotta cheese, cream cheese, grated Parmesan, eggs, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Mix thoroughly until smooth and evenly combined.

Step 4

Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Spread the spinach and cheese mixture evenly into a rectangular shape, about 1 cm thick.

Step 5

Bake the spinach mixture in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it sets and feels firm to the touch.

Step 6

Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the mixture to cool slightly. Use the parchment paper to help roll it into a tight log (like a roulade). Wrap it in the parchment and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Step 7

Slice the baguette into 1 cm thick slices. Brush both sides of each slice with olive oil.

Step 8

Toast the bread slices under the grill or in a preheated skillet until golden and crispy on both sides. Set aside.

Step 9

Melt the butter in a small pan and add the minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Brush the toasted baguette slices lightly with the garlic butter.

Step 10

Remove the chilled roulade from the refrigerator and slice it into 1 cm thick rounds.

Step 11

Place one slice of the roulade on top of each garlic buttered baguette slice. Garnish with a fresh basil leaf.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy this elegant and flavorful appetizer!
