Broccoli Roll with Cream Cheese

30 min4 serv.21 февр. 2026 г.

Description

It's suitable both for a holiday and for everyday meals. This roll works well for a diet-friendly menu, since the broccoli crust contains not a gram of flour. For the filling I used ricotta, but you can replace it with any other cheese you prefer. You can also add herbs, sun-dried tomatoes, crab sticks, and more to the filling. For this roll you can use broccoli either fresh or frozen. I used frozen: I thawed it completely and then lightly squeezed out the excess moisture. If you use fresh broccoli, boil it for 3 minutes, then transfer it to ice water for about 5 minutes. Then drain the broccoli in a colander and squeeze out the excess moisture. It can be served warm or chilled.
