Method

  • 1. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Grease and line a 26 x 32cm shallow pan with baking paper, extending the paper 5cm over the edges.

  • 2. Place spinach, egg yolks, flour, sour cream and half of the grated Parmesan in a food processor. Process for 45 seconds, until smooth.

  • 3. Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites in a clean bowl until firm peaks form. Usinga large spoon, fold spinach mixture, in two batches, through the egg white. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 12-15 minutes, until spongy to touch.

  • 4. Place a piece of baking paper on a clean work surface and sprinkle over remaining grated Parmesan. Invert spinach sponge onto paper, and peel paper from top of sponge. Cover sponge with a clean tea towel and set aside to cool.

  • 5. Meanwhile, place ricotta and feta in a food processor and process until smooth. Gently spread mixture over the cooled spinach sponge. Arrange sundried tomatoes and spring onions in a line, along the long edge closest to you, leaving a 2cm gap to the edge.

  • 6. Using the paper as a guide, roll up sponge to form a log. Wrap in baking paper and then foil. Refrigerate until needed.

  • 7. To serve, scatter over shaved Parmesan and basil leaves and cut into slices.
