Preparation
1

Carefully chop the nettles finely in a food processor or chopper.

2

Heat the butter in a frying pan and add the nettles. Add the milk, salt, black pepper and paprika. Cook until the nettles soften and the filling thickens.

3

Separate the yolks from the whites. Mix the yolks with the flour and grated kashkaval until thick.

4

Transfer the nettle filling to a bowl and wipe the pan clean with kitchen paper. Whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks.

5

Combine the whites with the yolk mixture and mix well.

6

Heat a little oil, about 1/2 tsp, in a non-stick pan. A different type of pan may need more fat. Pour in the omelette mixture.

7

Cook over medium heat. Turn with a spatula and cook for about 2 more minutes. Transfer to a plate, add the nettle filling and roll up. Serve with your favourite salad.

8

For a larger quantity, pour the mixture into a well-greased baking dish and bake at 200–210°C without turning. Then fill and roll up.

9

You can replace nettles with spinach, sorrel, orache or other leafy greens. White brined cheese or cottage cheese can replace the kashkaval.
