Method

  1. To make the Spinach and Salmon Roll, start by washing and trimming the spinach, then blanch it in plenty of salted water. When it’s ready, squeeze it dry and chop it very finely with a knife. Pour a drizzle of oil into a nonstick skillet and add the garlic; once it has browned, add the spinach as well and cook for about 5 minutes. When it’s done, remove the garlic and let the spinach cool slightly.

  2. In a bowl, beat the eggs with the salt, pepper and Parmigiano, then add the spinach and mix to combine everything. Take a baking pan, line it with parchment paper and grease it with oil, then pour in the egg and spinach mixture, spreading it evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (350 °F) for about 10-15 minutes, then take it out and let it cool completely.

  3. Lay a sheet of parchment paper on the work surface and dampen it slightly, then place the spinach frittata on top. Spread the Philadelphia over it until it is completely covered, then arrange the salmon slices evenly on top. Roll up the frittata starting from the long side, then wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for at least half an hour.
