Spinach Mushroom Roll - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb spinach
    4 eggs, separated
    salt and pepper
    1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
    Filling
    2 tablespoons oil
    1 onion, chopped
    6 ounces sliced mushrooms (approx 3 cups)
    1 tablespoon whole wheat flour (or all purpose)
    2/3 cup milk
    1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
Preparation
    Cook spinach in a large pan, with just the water clinging to the leaves after washing, for 5 mins.
    Drain thoroughly and chop finely.
    Place in a bowl and add egg yolks, salt and pepper and nutmeg.
    Mix well.
    In another bowl, whisk egg whites until stiff and fold into the spinach.
    Spread the mixture evenly in a lined and greased 12 X 8 inch Swiss roll tin.
    Cook in a preheated moderately hot oven (200C; 400F) for 10 to 15 minutes until risen and firm.
    While the spinach is baking, heat oil in a pan, add the onions and fry till they are soft.
    Add mushrooms and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
    Stir in the flour, then gradually stir in the milk.
    Add salt and pepper to taste and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
    Sprinkle the cheese over a sheet of greaseproof paper, turn the baked spinach out onto the paper and peel off the lining paper.
    Spread the filling and roll up like a Swiss roll.
    Serve immediately.
