CREAM CHEESE & STRAWBERRY ROULADE

Steps:

• Make the Cake
• Preheat the oven to 325°F.
• Spray a 12x17-inch rimmed baking sheet with baking spray. Line baking sheet with parchment paper, then spray parchment paper with additional baking spray.
• Whisk flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
• Beat egg whites in the bowl of a standing mixer on low until frothy (about 5 min.). Increase speed to high and beat until soft peaks form. With mixer running, add granulated sugar and beat until stiff peaks (2 more minutes); set aside.
• In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks until thick and pale in color. Add brown sugar and beat until combined. Add flour mixture, buttermilk and vanilla, and beat until blended. Fold in 1/3 of the beaten egg whites. Add remaining egg whites and fold until just incorporated. Spread batter evenly into prepared pan.
• Bake at 325°F for 15 to 20 minutes or until cake is firm and springs back when lightly pressed in center. Cool in pan for 1 minute.
• Dust a clean tea towel with 1/4 cup powdered sugar, invert the cake pan onto the towel and peel off the parchment paper. Dust with 1/4 cup of the remaining powdered sugar. Starting at one short end, roll up the cake and towel together. Let cool completely (about 1 hour).
• Make the Filling
• Beat the cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl until light and fluffy (about 4 min.) Add remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar, rum and vanilla and beat until smooth.
• Cut and slice the strawberries.
• Unroll the cake, remove tea towel and spread the filling evenly onto the cake. Arrange the strawberry slices all over the filling. Starting at one short end, roll up the cake and wrap tightly in plastic wrap, sealing both ends. Refrigerate at least 8 hours.
• Remove plastic wrap. Dust the roulade with the remaining 2 Tbsp. powdered sugar, trim and discard the end pieces. Cut the roulade into 12 slices to serve.
• Serve with fresh strawberries.

HERBY CHEESE ROULADE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Oil a 23 x 33cm Swiss roll tin. Cut a rectangle of baking parchment 4cm larger all round than the tin. Fold in a 2cm strip all round, making a diagonal cut into each corner.
• For the roulade, melt the butter in a large pan. Add the garlic and fry for 1 min. Add the flour and cook for 1 min, stirring constantly. Gradually beat in the milk. Bring to the boil, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thick and smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in half the cheese. Season, then allow to cool slightly. Beat in the egg yolks and parsley. Whisk the egg whites to stiff, but not dry peaks, then gently fold into the cheese sauce. Pour into the tin, tipping the tin so that the mixture fills all the corners. Bake for 15 mins until risen and golden.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil and butter in a large wok or frying pan and stir-fry the spring greens and garlic for 4-5 mins until tender. Season.
• Sprinkle the remaining cheese over a sheet of baking parchment just larger than the tin. Turn the roulade out onto the parchment, then peel off the lining paper. Trim the crispy edges off the roulade. Use a slotted spoon to remove the spring greens from the garlicky butter, then spread over the roulade leaving a 2.5cm space at one short end uncovered. Roll up the roulade from the short end with no filling on it, using the paper to help. Serve the roulade immediately, drizzled with any remaining garlicky butter.

BLUE CHEESE SHORTBREAD LEAVES WITH CREAM CHEESE-CHUTNEY ROULADE

Steps:

• For shortbread:
• Blend blue cheese and butter in processor until creamy. Add flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Using on/off turns, process until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add walnuts and process just until moist clumps form. Gather dough into ball. Flatten into disk. Wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 325°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll out dough between sheets of plastic wrap to 1/8- to 1/4-inch thickness. Remove top sheet. Using 2 1/2x1-inch leaf-shaped cookie cutter, cut out leaves. Transfer leaves to prepared baking sheets. Gather dough scraps and reroll; cut out additional leaves. Transfer to prepared baking sheets. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer leaves to rack and cool. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Store in airtight container at room temperature.)
• For roulade:
• Using rolling pin, flatten cream cheese between sheets of plastic wrap; roll into 10x8-inch rectangle. Remove top sheet of plastic wrap. Spread 1/3 cup chutney atop cream cheese rectangle, leaving 1-inch plain border. Sprinkle chutney with 2 tablespoons green onions. Using plastic as aid and starting at 1 long side, roll up cream cheese, jelly-roll style, into log. Gently press remaining green onions onto roulade. Wrap roulade tightly with plastic. Refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.
• Place roulade on platter. Surround with shortbread leaves. Top roulade with remaining 1/3 cup chutney and serve.

SPINACH ROULADE WITH CREAM CHEESE & PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200C). Line a 9x13-inch shallow-sided baking sheet with waxed paper to extend slightly up the sides.
• Place the spinach in a pan with just the water that clings to its leaves after washing. Cook over moderate heat until tender: 7-10 minutes. Drain.
• Put the spinach, butter, and egg yolks in a blender, and work until smooth. Transfer to a lare bowl, and season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
• In a separate bowl, shisk the egg whites until they are stiff. Fold the egg whites into the spinach mixture using a metal spoon, then pour the spinach and egg-white mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing it to the edges.
• Sprinkle 2 tbsp of the Parmesan cheese over the roulade. Bake the roulade until just firm and spongy in the center: 12-15 minutes.
• Place a piece of waxed paper large enough for the roulade next to the oven, and sprinkle it with the remaining Parmesan. Remove the waxed paper that was used to line the pan from the top.
• Place the pepper under a hot broiler, shiny side up, until the skin blisters and turns black. Allow to cool. Tear off the papery skin, and remove and discard the stalk and seeds. Cut into strips.
• Beat the cream cheese with enough milk to make it spreadable, then cover the roulade with it. Arrange the red pepper over the top in widel spaced stripes, then roll up the roulade from one of the short sides.
• Place the roulade with the seam underneath so it cannot unroll. Trim the ends, and if desired, sprinkle the top with freshly grated Parmesan.

SPINACH ROULADE WITH SUNDRIED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5 and line a Swiss roll tin (23 x 32cm) with baking paper. Cook the spinach in the microwave according to pack instructions (about 2 mins for each bag), then, when cool enough to handle, squeeze out as much juice as you can. Tip the spinach into a food processor and add the egg yolks, 1 tbsp fromage frais, plenty of seasoning and the flour. Blend until really finely chopped and well mixed.
• Whisk the egg whites until stiff, then fold into the spinach mixture. Spread in the tin and bake for 12-15 mins until firm to the touch. 3 Meanwhile, beat the rest of the fromage frais into the garlic & herb cream cheese until creamy. Put a sheet of baking paper on the work surface and dust with a little of the vegetarian parmesan.
• Turn the spinach mixture onto the work surface and carefully strip off the paper. Spread with the cheese mixture and scatter over the tomato. Roll up from the shortest end using the paper to guide you. Serve straight away
