3 rice paper sheets (standard size works best, typically 8.5-9 inches in diameter)
2 eggs
½ cup shredded roast chicken
½ cup sautéed spinach
½ cup shredded mozzarella
½ cup crumbled feta
Sesame seeds
Salt and pepper
Lemon for serving

Combine the filling by folding together the chicken, spinach, mozzarella, and feta. Season with salt and pepper.
Whisk the eggs on a plate. Dip each rice paper sheet into the egg mixture for a few seconds, then lay it flat on a lightly oiled cutting board.
Spoon the filling in a line across the rice paper sheets and roll tightly into a cylinder.
Gently curve the roll around itself to form a spiral.
Brush the outside with more egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake at 400°F (205°C) for 15–20 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
Serve warm with lemon wedges.

Rice paper softens quickly, so work efficiently once it’s dipped.
You can swap the chicken for roasted vegetables if you want a vegetarian version.
This spiral is best served fresh while the exterior is crisp.
