Necessary Tools Needed
- Hand Blender
- Baking tray
- Parchment paper or Silicone Baking Sheet
- Food Cling Wrap
- Frozen Spinach
- Eggs
- Cream Cheese
- Hard Cheese
- Smoked Salmon Slices
- Caviar (Optional)
Spinach Base
- With a Hand Blender, mix your eggs first until fluffy. Once they are mixed, add unfrozen spinach in.
- Tip: Once your Spinach unfreezes, make sure you squeeze as much water from it as you can. This will make your base much more condensed. And that is what we are aiming for.
Mix and Pour
- Again using your hand blender, mix all fully and transfer it on a Baking tray covered with either a Parchment Paper or Silicone Sheet.
- Using a hand spatula, make sure, the mass is spread all over the tray evenly. Check Video for better understanding.
Grated Cheese
- Using any type of hard cheese, make sure you do grate all at home. Do not buy already grated cheese, because they all contain starch for the cheese not to go old and to hold separate. Always purchase a whole piece and grate it at home whenever you needed. It only takes few Minutes, but you will have a grated cheese without any additions.
- Sprinkle all of the grated cheese on top of the Spinach egg mixture. Make sure the cheese is spread evenly all over.
- Place it into the oven and bake.
Toppings
- Once the Spinach Roulade is baked, let it cool and spread cream cheese all over. Decide which way you are going to be rolling it and leave the ends of that part plain.
- On top of the Cream cheese place all of the smoked Salmon slices evenly. The last pieces of smoked salmon are pretty small, so better to fill the empty spaces with it. This does not have to be filled fully.
- Use all of the slices and once you run out, even if it is half way, it is ok. You just need few layers.
Caviar (Optional)
- Now come my invention. We love caviar, but it does not always have to be Beluga Caviar. Most of the time I just use an ordinary Caviar from Supermarket. You can as well skip this step.
- With a small spoon place all of the caviar aligned in one row at the beginning of the Spinach Roulade. The part, which you will start rolling.
- Once you have all of the caviar spread, with a back of the spoon make it straight and even. This is pretty easy, ince caviar is a bit oily and is easily formed.
Roll
- Start rolling from the side, where you have placed Caviar and Salmon.
- Using both of your hands, start rolling the whole roulade the same as you would roll for example a Keto Sushi Roll.
- Try to roll it all tight and keep rolling until the end.
Store
- Once the whole Keto Spinach Salmon Roulade is rolled, take your Food cling wrap and roll it all with it. Twist the ends and place the whole piece into the fridge.
- It is best to keep it in the refrigerator overnight. But if you do not have that much time, after a few hours, the Spinach roulade is ready to be served and to enjoy!!!

Can you make Spinach Roulade with Cream Cheese night before?
You certainly can and it is actually advised to do it the day before. The cream cheese and all of the other Ingredients and their flavors will in those hours blend together giving you the best experience you can get. You can even make those few days before without any issue.
What can you fill the Spinach Roulade with?
When I have tried it first, there was no other filling in the middle and it was still perfect. I have then experience with various veggies and condiments and can suggest to add what you like the most.
Those could be:
- Caviar
- Gherkins
- Olives
- Avocado
- Pickles
- Farmers Cheese
- Herbs
- Boiled Eggs
- Salad leaves
What to serve with Keto Spinach Roulade?
Normally this Savoury Roulade is served as a separate Low Carb Appetizer or a Centre piece on a Party table, but you can definitely add some other condiments to it. I sometimes serve it with cherry tomatoes, pickles or any fermented vegetables. Those are just perfect addition.
How long would Spinach Roulade with Smoked Salmon last?
Once you make it, it should be perfect, stored in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. It never really last that time in our fridge as it is a perfect Keto Snack or a Low Carb Breakfast Choice with us.
Can you freeze Salmon Roulade?
You can, but make sure you cover it fully with a cling wrap and in an air tight container. Otherwise once unfrozen, this roulade will become pretty mushy.
