Servings 2 people
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
- 3 rice paper sheets
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
Notes
- 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.
