Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 50 minutes
Number of servings: 6

Ingredients:

For the roll base:
- 3 tablespoons of flour
- ½ liter of milk
- 8 eggs
- 50 g of butter (for greasing)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)

For the filling:
- 500 g of fresh mushrooms (preferably champignon or pleurotus)
- 1 medium onion
- 2 slices of smoked fillet (or ham, for a more accessible option)
- 1 teaspoon of cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped parsley
- 100 g of grated cheese (or parmesan, according to preference)

Step by step - Preparing the mushroom roll:

1. Start by preparing the base. In a large bowl, add the flour and gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Use a spatula or whisk to achieve a smooth and fine mixture.

2. Once you have a thin batter, separate the eggs. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, and you can add the yolks directly to the batter. Mix well to combine the ingredients. Add salt and pepper to taste, and continue mixing. If you have a mixer, it will help achieve an airy texture.

3. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a baking tray with oil and place a sheet of parchment paper greased with a little butter. Pour the roll mixture evenly into the tray and bake for 20 minutes. Be careful not to overbake, as the base needs to remain flexible to be rolled.

4. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Finely chop the onion and mushrooms, and cut the fillet into small cubes. In a pan, melt 25 g of butter and add the onion. Sauté until it becomes translucent, then add the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and let cook until the mushrooms reduce in volume. Finally, add the cut fillet and mix well.

5. When the mushrooms are ready, add a teaspoon of cornstarch to bind the mixture. Mix well and remove the pan from the heat. Add the chopped fresh parsley and let the filling cool slightly.

6. When the base is baked, remove it from the oven and flip it onto a clean towel sprinkled with a little grated cheese (or parmesan). This will add a delicious flavor to the roll and help retain moisture.

7. Evenly distribute the mushroom filling over the roll base, leaving a margin of a few centimeters. Carefully roll the base using the towel to form a tight roll.

8. Finally, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the roll and you can put it back in the oven for 5-10 minutes, just enough to melt the cheese.

Serving suggestions: The mushroom roll can be served warm, sliced, alongside a fresh salad or a yogurt sauce with herbs. If you want to impress even more, you can garnish it with some fresh parsley leaves or slices of red bell pepper for a color contrast.

Nutritional benefits: This recipe is rich in protein due to the eggs and mushrooms, providing a good source of vitamins and minerals. Additionally, mushrooms are considered low-calorie foods but high in nutrients, making them an excellent choice for a balanced diet.

Frequently asked questions:

1. Can I use other types of mushrooms?
Of course! You can experiment with other types of mushrooms, such as shiitake or portobello, which bring different flavors.

2. How can I adapt this recipe to be vegetarian?
A vegetarian version can be easily made by omitting the fillet and adding more vegetables, such as spinach or zucchini.

3. Can it be prepared in advance?
Certainly! You can prepare the roll a day ahead and reheat it in the oven before serving.

4. What drinks pair well with this roll?
A dry white wine or a refreshing citrus-based cocktail will perfectly complement the flavors of the mushroom roll.

Possible variations: If you are looking for a spicier version, add some slices of hot pepper to the filling. You can also experiment with different types of cheese, such as feta or mozzarella for a creamier texture.

In conclusion, the mushroom roll is not only a delicious recipe but also a versatile one that can be customized to everyone's taste.
