Smoked Salmon Spinach Rolls

Salmon Roll Recipe

Smoked Salmon Spinach Rolls are easy and tasty appetizers, especially for the holiday season.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 18 minutes
Additional Cooling Time 15 minutes
Total Time 43 minutes

Ingredients

  • 6 oz (170g) frozen spinach + pinch of salt and 2 tablespoon water
  • 5 eggs, mixed
  • 1 cup all purpose flour, 135g
  • 1/2 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 oz whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

Filling:

  • 7-8 tablespoons cream cheese, room temp.
  • 4 oz smoked salmon, 113g (More if you wish)

Topping:

  • Sesame Seeds
  • Serve with cheery tomatoes and rosemary

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F (180C)
  2. Cook spinach in the skillet until defrosted and looks cooked, 5 to 6 minutes at medium-high heat. Then add a pinch of salt and a bit of water. Transfer to blender or food processor then process until smooth in texture, almost like a paste. Water helps to get it going. I like to precook it first because it blends better in my opinion. It cooks fast, and just enough time for the oven to preheat.
  3. Mix eggs in a large bowl, then add flour, olive oil, baking powder, salt and black pepper, and blended spinach. Make sure the bowl is large enough. I would recommend using a hand mixer to combine the mixture together, although a heavy-duty whisk will do the job just fine.
  4. Now, line your baking sheet (9x13 or similar size) with parchment paper.
  5. Pour spinach mixture, shake to take out any bubbles, and spread so we have an even layer.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 19 minutes.
  7. Remove from the oven, then from the baking sheet onto the large clean cotton kitchen towel.
  8. If the parchment paper sticks, carefully peel it, then make a roll with a kitchen towel, until you have the filling ready.
  9. If you have wax paper line a large parchment paper under the spinach roll.
  10. Drizzle or brush a bit of oil on the inside where before spreading the cheese. Make sure the cream cheese is at room temp. for easier spreading.
  11. I like to slightly shave the end of the further end with the sharp knife just to make it fit better when we finish rolling. Cut shorter sides just a millimeter or two off the edge.
  12. Spread cream cheese evenly then add smoked salmon all over. As you can see in the picture, i separated large pieces so I could fit them all over the roll. You can of course use more salmon than I did but it is not necessary.
  13. Roll it back into a roll trying to make it as tight as possible. I used wax paper to help me to roll them wrap them up and refrigerate them for at least 15 minutes before slicing them into pinwheels.
  14. Now after it chills in the fridge, take it out, then using a sharp knife cut the roll in th half, then that half in another half, and that way your small rolls or pinwheels will look equal in size.
  15. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, or everything bagel if you prefer, then sere with cheery tomatoes and beautiful fresh rosemary.

Mini Sunday Brunch Casseroles

Mini Sunday Brunch Casseroles

Mini Sunday Brunch Casseroles

Mini Sunday brunch casseroles are such a jam and life savor, especially over holidays.

I know it has been a weird year, and most have kids still at home, so these casseroles are fantastic at any time of the year.

Sometimes it is hard to get out of the comfort zone. Well, I know because I am one of those people. For the last six months, I feel like I have been making the same meals over and over again.

Just look at these mini casseroles; they are simple, portion-sized, and versatile because you can literally use any protein in them as well as a veggie.

Also, you can make them vegetarian or packed with bacon or sausages.

Mini Sunday Brunch Casseroles

I am always thinking of people that are plant-based. Well, I don’t like it when people are judging us for eating meat, and I am most certainly not going to judge our vegetarian friends.

So, I always try to give an option so everyone has the opportunity to make and enjoy my recipes.

Anyhow, since I got that off my chest, let us move on.

The casserole is such a perfect dish to please a crowd. They are really well-loved. To be honest, I love using leftover chicken from time to time or after Thanksgiving turkey.

However in this case I used Italian sausage, peppers, and Southern potato hash, which is basically diced potatoes.

Add some cheese and eggs and you will be a queen or a king of brunch.

My family much like me love a combination of spicy Italian sausage with onion, papers, and potatoes so this is what I use most of the time.

Mini Sunday Brunch Casseroles

I have made breakfast or brunch casseroles for school parties and for holiday gatherings for many years, especially when my kids were small and still liked me combing to school celebrations.

Sometimes I use breakfast sausages or chopped up bacon, and some other times I would even mix in cooked bread or biscuits.

Nevertheless, if you wish to keep this low carb I would stay away from the bread, of course, potatoes are not keto-friendly, so I would suggest maybe using roasted cauliflower.

You can check my Breakfast Casserole, which was always a huge hit among kids and adults.

Whatever you are using people seem to love it. Now for plan-based, I would suggest adding either vegan sausages or mushrooms or both.

Step by step

Anyhow, I hope you guys try making these Mini Sunday Brunch Casseroles because I know you will love them.

Mini Sunday Brunch Casseroles

Recipes for breakfast

Mini Sunday brunch casseroles are such a jam and life savor, especially over holidays.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp grapeseed oil
  • 1.5 cup frozen Southern potato hush, or 1.5 cup diced potatoes (one and a half)
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 1 celery rib, chopped
  • 1/2 lbs (220g) Italian sausage, mild or hot, casing removed
  • 1 cup shredded cheese, Mexican blend cheese works well
  • 1 tbsp dried parsley
  • 8 eggs, mixed
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipped cream
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp butter, softened

Instructions

  1. Slightly fry southern potato hush until soft and edge crispy. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. then set aside.
  2. Stir fry pepper, onion, and celery. Take it out of the skillet and place next to potatoes hush.
  3. Cook Italian sausage. Break into pieces while cooking. When it is cooked through, combine potatoes with pepper, onion, and celery, sprinkle dried parsley. Add cheese and mix it all together.
  4. Preheat oven to 375F.
  5. Butter each ramekin with unsalted butter.
  6. Mix eggs with salt and black pepper.
  7. Depending on the size of your ramekins, add a meat-veggie mixture a bit less than 3/4 of the ramekin, then pour eggs over. Take a spoon or a butter knife and poke through so the eggs could coat the "filling". I add eggs almost to the edge however you need to give a bit more room so the eggs could cook and rise.
  8. Place ramekins on the large cookie sheet pan or similar and bake for 23-25 minutes.
  9. Allow them to cool down for a couple of minutes before serving.

Notes

You can use any meat. Just make sure to cook it before.

Also, you may use any veggie of your choice as well as cheese. Mozzarella or crumbled queso fresco would be perfect as well. Feta Cheese could be used but watch on how much salt you will use. A pinch or two is probably all you would need.

Smoked Salmon Goat Cheese Appetizers

Smoked Salmon Goat Cheese Appetizers

Smoked Salmon Goat Cheese Appetizers

Smoked Salmon Goat Cheese Appetizers are perfect bites to serve over joyous holidays. However, in my humble opinion, these are divine perfection all year round.

Sometimes, instead of these rather gourmet crackers, I would serve it with toasted bruschetta. It is just so fancy, yet unbelievably easy.

Truth to be told, this is my absolute favorite to munch on especially if we have a Swedish table; which is a Scandinavian meal, originating obviously in Sweden, served buffet-style foods on a table.

Smoked Salmon Goat Cheese Appetizers

Well, I love shopping in Cosco for the best quality foods. I am not sponsored and paid by them to talk about it.

I don’t go frequently, but perhaps once every two weeks to get my favorite charcuterie board products.

Needless to say, you could get it anywhere, but I love certain premium brands. Also, buying in bulk if I know we will have guests.

Tap here for more appetizer recipes.

It is significantly more inexpensive, I get an incredible amount of food as well as the excellent quality.

So, for my party of six, I picked up Norwegian Smoked Salmon Slices. Actually, I got a couple of packages. Authentic flavors of the smoked ready to eat salmon are Peppered, Traditional, Dill.

Of course, I served it with other things, such as a cheeseboard and my deviled eggs, which are amazing.

Smoked Salmon Goat Cheese Appetizers

Anyway, this salmon pack of 12 ounces includes a packet of so amazingly delicious honey mustard dill sauce.

I am certain it is not a massive deal to make your recipe for honey-mustard dill sauce, but since salmon came with it, I used it.

If you for any reason dislike goat cheese, you could use any other creamy cheese.

Goat cheese just goes perfectly together with smoked salmon. Capers are somewhat must-have with these appetizing bites.
