3.Spread a thin layer of cream cheese inside each egg white half.
4.Wrap a small slice of smoked salmon around each egg white to form a roll-up.

Sauté Spinach
⏱ 0:10Sautéed Spinach
1.Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat (about 160°C).
2.Add sliced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden, stirring to prevent burning.
3.Add spinach in handfuls, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes until wilted and bright green, ensuring it doesn’t overcook into a mushy texture.
💡 Work in batches if your skillet is small to avoid overcrowding, which can cause the spinach to steam rather than sauté.
🍽️ Arrange two egg and smoked salmon roll-ups on one side of the plate, with a vibrant pile of sautéed spinach on the other, garnished with a sprinkle of extra dill and a lemon wedge for a fresh touch.
