4 T. butter
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp. salt
Pepper to taste
2 cups milk
6 eggs
2 bunches cleaned fresh spinach OR 2 10-oz packages
frozen spinach

Salt and pepper to taste
Melt butter in a sauce pan, blend in flour, salt, and
pepper. Whisk in the milk, bringing the mixture to boil.
Stir constantly until thickened. Cool mixture. Add the
egg yolks and beat. In a separate bowl beat the egg
whites until stiff. Fold them into the cooled sauce.
Line a greased jelly roll pan with waxed paper, then
butter and flour the waxed paper. Pour the soufflé
mixture over the waxed paper, spreading lightly to form
an even layer. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 400 degrees
for 30 minutes or until nicely browned. While soufflé is
baking make the filling. Sauté the spinach and mushrooms
in butter until tender and liquid has been reduced. Add
the cream cheese and mix well. Season to taste. Set
aside but keep warm. Turn soufflé immediately onto a
towel. Carefully remove waxed paper. Roll up lengthwise
with the towel inside. After a minute or so, unroll.
Spread filling evenly over the soufflé. Roll up jelly
roll style with the help of the towel.
Serve immediately!
