Ingredients:
- 300 g fresh spinach (or 200 g frozen spinach)
- 4 large eggs
- 100 g cottage cheese
- 100 g mozzarella cheese (or telemea cheese)
- 150 g ham (or jambon) diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon fresh or dried dill (optional)

Step 1: Preparing the spinach
If using fresh spinach, wash it well under cold water to remove any impurities. Then, place it in a large pan with a tablespoon of olive oil and sauté over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until wilted. If using frozen spinach, thaw it and squeeze out excess water.

Step 2: Preparing the mixture
In a large bowl, beat the 4 eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the sautéed spinach, cottage cheese, diced ham, and if desired, dill and crushed garlic. Mix well until combined.

Step 3: Baking
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper and pour the mixture evenly. Bake the roll for 20-25 minutes until lightly browned on top and firm to the touch.

Step 4: Rolling
After baking, let the roll cool for 5 minutes. Then, using the parchment paper, carefully roll the roll starting from one end. Let it rest for a few minutes to maintain its shape.

Serving:
Cut the roll into slices and serve warm or at room temperature. It is delicious alongside a fresh salad or as an appetizer at a festive meal. You can decorate it with fresh spinach leaves or a few cherry tomatoes for an attractive look.

Customized version:
For a vegetarian version, you can omit the ham and add sautéed mushrooms or finely chopped bell pepper. You can also replace mozzarella cheese with goat cheese or feta for a more intense flavor.

Useful tips:
- Make sure the spinach is well drained; otherwise, the roll may become too wet.
- If you want a fluffier texture, you can add a pinch of baking powder to the egg mixture.
- Experiment with different types of cheese to find the perfect combination for you.
