- Sponge: Separate the eggs, and bring the whites to room temperature.
- In a saucepan melt the butter over low heat, stir in the flour, and
- cook the roux, stirring, for 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat
- and add the milk, heated, in a stream, whisking. Simmer the mixture,
- whisking occasionally, for five minutes, add the nutmeg and salt and
- pepper to taste, and transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Whisk in
- the egg yolks, one at a time, whisking well after each addition, and
- whisk in the Parmesan. In a bowl with an electric mixer beat the egg
- whites with a pinch of salt until they are frothy, add the cream of
- tartar, and beat the whites until they just hold stiff peaks. Stir one
- third of the whites into the mixture and fold in the remaining whites
- gently but thoroughly.
-
- Spread the sponge batter evenly in a buttered 15-1/2"x10-1/2" jelly
- roll pan lined with buttered and floured wax paper and bake it in a
- preheated 350 oven for 25 minutes, or until it is golden and firm to
- the touch. Cover the egg sponge with a sheet of buttered wax paper,
- buttered side down, and a dish towel, invert a baking sheet over the
- towel, and invert the egg sponge onto the baking sheet. Remove the
- jelly roll pan and the wax paper carefully and trim 1/4" from the
- short sides of the sponge. Fill the sponge with the filling while it
- is still warm and flexible.
-
- Croutons: Spread the bread cubes in one layer in a jelly roll pan. In
- a small saucepan melt the butter with the garlic, drizzle the mixture
- over the bread, and stir and toss the bread to coat it well. Bake the
- bread in one layer in a preheated 350 oven, turning occasionaly, for
- 15 to 20 minutes, or until croutons are golden. Transfer the croutons
- to paper towels to drain.
-
- Filling: Cook the spinach according to package directions, drain,
- refresh under cold running water, and squeeze it dry. In a food
- processor, puree the spinach with the butter, cream, and Parmesan and
- season the filling with salt and pepper.
-
- Spread the filling over the warm egg sponge in a even layer and
- sprinkle it with the croutons. Roll the roulade jelly-roll fashion,
- beginning with a long side, and trim the ends on the diagonal. With
- the aid of the towel and the wax paper, transfer the roulade, seam
- side down, to an ovenproof platter, spread it gently with the butter,
- and sprinkle it with the Parmesan. Bake the roulade in a preheated 350
- oven for 10 minutes, or until it is heated through and the Parmesan is
- melted.
