Greek snail
Description
Homemade baked goods for tea. For the filling, choose well‑drained cottage cheese. Dry the greens, then add them to the filling. The filling should not be too wet so that the snail bakes even faster; use the “Convection” setting. Choose the greens for the filling to taste. Spinach, green onions, dill and parsley work well. You can also add a little sorrel, cilantro, or basil.
