3. Whisk egg whites until firm but not dry and stiff. Fold a little at a time into spinach mix until well mixed. Place a sheet of silicon greased paper onto a flat oven tray and spread mix over evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes until firm to touch. Turn out onto another sheet of paper liberally sprinkled with parmesan.
4. Blend fromage frais and garlic cheese together and spread over three quarters of spinach. Roll up tightly like a Swiss roll and cut to size. Mix pesto, sun-blushed tomatoes or any flavouring you like with cheese for variation.
