Description

Arugula Roll with Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese is a fresh, flavorful, and visually impressive dish that’s perfect for buffets, summer lunches, or light dinners. It’s a creative twist on the classic stuffed omelet roll and can be prepared in just a few minutes, then chilled until serving time.

The base is a soft baked omelet enriched with blended arugula, eggs, pine nuts, and Parmesan cheese, giving it a vibrant color and delicate flavor.
