Ingredients- 150g fresh spinach
- 10 fresh eggs
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Vegetable oil, for cooking
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by preparing your ingredients. Thoroughly wash the fresh spinach and ensure it’s well-drained. Have your fresh eggs ready.
Step 2
Crack the 10 eggs into a clean bowl. Add the 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Use a whisk to thoroughly beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are completely combined and the mixture is smooth. Beating them well will result in a fluffier texture.
Step 3
Place the washed and drained spinach on a cutting board. Finely chop the spinach into very small pieces. Chopping it finely will make it easier to roll and ensure it distributes evenly throughout the egg.
Step 4
Add the finely chopped spinach to the beaten egg mixture. Gently stir with a spoon or spatula until the spinach is evenly distributed throughout the egg batter. Avoid overmixing.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly coat the pan with vegetable oil using a paper towel. Once the pan is warm, pour about one ladleful of the spinach and egg mixture into the pan. Tilt the pan to spread the mixture into a thin, even layer. A thin layer cooks more evenly and makes rolling easier.
Step 6
As the egg mixture begins to set and the bottom is firm, carefully start rolling the egg from one edge of the pan towards the other. Don’t roll it all the way to the end; leave a small section exposed to allow the next layer of egg to adhere.
Step 7
Push the rolled egg to one side of the pan. Pour another ladleful of the spinach and egg mixture into the empty space, spreading it thinly. Once this new layer begins to set, roll the existing roll over it, continuing to build layers. Repeat this process, adding more mixture and rolling, until you achieve your desired thickness.
Step 8
Once the egg roll is completely formed, remove it from the heat and carefully transfer it to a cutting board. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing. Slicing while too hot can cause it to break apart.
Step 9
After it has cooled sufficiently, slice the spinach egg roll into bite-sized pieces. You’ll notice its beautiful vibrant green and yellow colors. Arrange the slices on a plate. The attractive appearance makes it a wonderful dish for children who might be hesitant to eat vegetables, and it’s also a lovely addition to any meal!
