Ingredients
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 brown onion, diced
- 1 handful spinach, diced
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup cottage cheese, water drained
- 2 tbsp grated parmesan or feta
- 1 egg
- 3 rice paper sheets
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- In a pan over medium high heat, add olive oil and sauté onion until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add salt and spinach until wilted and stir to combine. Turn off heat.
- Mix together cottage cheese and parmesan or feta in a bowl until combined. Mix in cooled down onion and spinach mixture.
- In a wide flat bowl, crack the egg and whisk well. Dip a rice paper sheet in the egg on ONE side only and lay it flat clean side down on a cutting board. Take the second piece and do the same making sure you overlap it a bit with the first piece. Repeat this step for the last piece of rice paper.
- Spread filling down the middle of the rice paper sheets in a long line. Roll one side of the rice paper over the filling over the top, and then the other side, tucking in the sides until it resembles a long rope. Coil it into a spiral shape.
