Three cheese spinach scrolls
Three cheese spinach scrolls are soft, fluffy bread rolls swirled with a rich blend of three cheeses and fresh baby spinach. The Thermomix TM7 kneads the baker's flour dough to ideal consistency, then you simply roll, fill and bake. Golden outside, gooey and savoury inside, they make an irresistible snack, lunchbox treat or party bite for the whole family.
About this recipe
Three cheese spinach scrolls with the Thermomix TM7 are the kind of recipe that turns a simple baker's flour and yeast dough into something truly special. These swirl buns are filled with a generous three cheese mix and bright fresh baby spinach, then baked until the cheese bubbles into the golden spiral. Searching for an easy snack recipe for your all-in-one kitchen machine, or a quick savoury bake for weekend brunch? This one delivers on both counts. The TM7 kneading function does the heavy lifting: instant dried yeast, olive oil, water and sea salt come together into a smooth, elastic dough while you grate or cube the cheese and rinse the spinach. Because the dough is rolled flat before filling, every slice reveals a beautiful spiral of green and molten cheese. They are perfect warm from the oven, tucked into lunchboxes the next day, or served at a birthday table where vegetarians and cheese lovers alike will reach for seconds.
Preparation tips
- Roll the baker's flour dough into a neat rectangle with evenly thin edges before sprinkling the three cheese mix and spinach, so the scrolls unwind evenly and no filling escapes during baking.
- Pat the fresh baby spinach leaves dry after rinsing; excess moisture on the spinach can make the swirl soggy instead of gooey, especially around the cheese layers.
- For a lunchbox-friendly version, cut the baked scrolls individually and freeze them on a tray, then pop a frozen scroll straight into a lunchbox where it thaws by midday.
- Replace the three cheese mix with mozzarella and a little parmesan if you prefer stretchy, stringy pulls rather than a sharp, salty bite from mature cheeses.
Recipe variations
- Make a lactose-light version by using lactose-free mozzarella and a plant-based spread instead of the three cheese mix, keeping the baby spinach and baker's flour dough exactly the same.
- For a festive variant, add sun-dried tomatoes and a pinch of chilli flakes between the spinach layers, or brush the finished scrolls with garlic olive oil for a party-worthy savoury bite.
