Instructions

Step 1

Prepare Spinach Puree

In a blender, combine the spinach leaves with a small amount of milk. Blend until smooth and vibrant green.

Step 2

Make Pancake Batter

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs with the salt and sugar until frothy.

Gradually add the flour, stirring until smooth while incorporating the milk.

Combine the batter with the spinach puree and mix well.

Stir in the vegetable oil and boiling water, ensuring the batter is well combined.

Step 3

Cook Pancakes

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, then pour in a ladle of batter to form a pancake.

Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook for an additional minute. Repeat until all batter is used.

Step 4

Prepare the Roll

For the roll, stack 6 pancakes slightly overlapping on a clean surface.

In a separate bowl, whip together the cream cheese with the heavy cream until smooth.

Spread this mixture evenly over the pancakes, then layer slices of smoked fish on top.

Carefully fold the edges of the pancakes over the filling and roll tightly into a log.

Step 5

Chill the Roll

Wrap the pancake roll tightly in parchment paper and refrigerate overnight to set and enhance the flavors.

Step 6

Decorate

The next morning, whip the cheese with the remaining heavy cream until fluffy, then spread over the top of the roll.

Garnish with cheese, caviar, and fresh spinach leaves for an elegant presentation.

Step 7

Serve

Slice the roll into bite-sized pieces and enjoy this delightful spring appetizer!

Faq

  • What can I use if I don't have a blender?

    If you don’t have a blender, you can finely chop the spinach and whisk together your batter by hand. Just ensure there are no lumps!

  • Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?

    Absolutely! You can make the crepes and filling the night before. Just assemble the roll-up before serving for the freshest taste!

  • How do I know if my crepes are cooked properly?

    Your crepes should be lightly golden on both sides. It's best to adjust your cooking time and temperature based on your stovetop for perfect results!

  • Can I use other fillings besides salmon?

    Definitely! Feel free to experiment with different fillings like smoked turkey, assorted vegetables, or even a sweet filling for a dessert twist!

  • What if my roll-up tears while wrapping it?

    Don’t worry! A little tearing is normal. Just patch it up with some cream cheese filling to keep it together.

  • How can I store leftovers?

    Wrap any leftovers in plastic wrap and store them in the fridge. They should last for about 2 days!
