Nutritional information
The mushroom roll is rich in protein due to the eggs and mushrooms, while fresh herbs add essential vitamins and minerals. Each serving is a source of nutrients, but it's good to note that large portions can add calories. One serving (approx. 100g) contains about 150-200 calories, depending on the amount of oil used.

Step by step:

Step 1: Preparing the ingredients
Start by cleaning the mushrooms. If using fresh mushrooms, make sure to wash them well under cold running water to remove dirt. Cut the mushrooms into smaller pieces for easier chopping. Also, clean the onion, wash it, and chop it finely.

Step 2: Cooking the mushrooms and onions
In a large skillet, add a little oil and sauté the onion over medium heat, covering the skillet with a lid. This will help the onion become translucent and reveal its flavors. Once the onion is soft, add the chopped mushrooms and mix well. Continue to cook until the mushrooms release their water and become slightly browned. This process will enhance the flavor of the dish.

Step 3: Preparing the mixture
In a large bowl, beat the eggs, add the mushroom and sautéed onion mixture, the chopped greens (dill, parsley, and chives), and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything well until you achieve a homogeneous composition. The consistency should be soft, like a thick batter. If the mixture is too dense, don't hesitate to add a little water until it reaches the desired consistency.

Step 4: Preparing the tray
Grease a loaf pan with oil to prevent the roll from sticking. Then, line the tray with parchment paper, making sure it is well placed on the bottom and sides.

Step 5: Baking
Pour the mixture into the prepared tray and level the surface with a spatula. Preheat the oven to a medium temperature (about 180°C) and place the tray in the oven. Allow the roll to bake for 45-50 minutes. The roll is ready when it is well set and has a golden hue on the surface.

Step 6: Serving
After baking, let the roll cool slightly before cutting it into slices. It can be served warm or cold, as an appetizer or side dish. It is delicious alongside a fresh salad or with a garlic yogurt sauce for an extra flavor boost.
