Spinach Spirals with Mushroom Sauce Recipe

Prep: 30 min. Bake: 10 min.

Yield: 12 Servings

30 10 40

Ingredients

3/4 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup half-and-half cream
2 tablespoons sherry or additional chicken broth
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
SPINACH ROLL:
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
3 packages (10 ounces each) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 eggs, separated
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

In a large skillet, saute mushrooms in butter for 2-3 minutes. Stir in flour until blended; cook 2-3 minutes longer or until liquid is absorbed. Gradually stir in broth and cream. Bring to a boil. Remove from the heat; stir in the sherry or additional broth, mustard and lemon juice. Cool for 15 minutes.
Grease and line a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan with parchment paper; grease the paper. Sprinkle with bread crumbs; set aside. In a large bowl, combine spinach, butter, salt, pepper, nutmeg and egg yolks. In a small bowl, beat egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form. Gradually fold into spinach mixture. Gently spoon over bread crumbs; press down lightly. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes or until center springs back when lightly touched. Cover with a piece of greased foil; immediately invert pan onto foil. Gently peel away parchment paper.
Spread 1 cup mushroom sauce over spinach mixture to within 1 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side and peeling foil away while rolling. Cut into slices. Reheat remaining mushroom sauce; serve with spinach spirals. Yield: 12 servings.
