Here is another recipe from my friend Terry


Swiss-Sauced Broccoli Roulade

2 tbsp + 2 tsp margarine
1/2 cup less 1-1/2 tsp enriched all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup skim mild
4 eggs, separated
1 pkg. (10 oz) frozen chopped broccoli
1 oz. swiss cheese, shreaded
Swiss Cheese Sauce (see recipe)
Broccoli florets and cherry tomatoes to garnish (optional)

Spray a 15"x10" jelly-roll pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Line with wax paper; then spray with nonstick cooking spray;
set aside.  In medium saucepan, heat margarine until bubbly;
stir in flour and salt, then whisk in milk.  Cook, stirring,
until very thick, about 10 minutes.  In small bowl, beat
egg yolks until light and fluffy; stir in small amount of
thickened flour mixture to yolks, then stir yolk mixture 
into saucepan.  Remove from heat; set aside.  In medium bowl,
beat egg whites until stiff but not dry.  Fold egg whites
into yolk mixture, then spread evenly in prepared pan.
Bake at 325 for 45-60 minutes or until top springs back
when touched.  While roulade is baking, cook broccoli; drain
well and set aside.  Turn roulade out onto cloth towel;
spread broccoli evenly over roulade to 1/2" from edges.
Sprinkle evenly with cheese.  Using towel, start from
short end and roll up, jelly-roll style.  Place seam
side down on serving plate; carefully remove towel.
Top evenly with 1/2 of Swiss Cheese Sauce.  If desired,
garnish plate with broccoli florets and cherry tomatoes.
Serve 1/8 remaining sauce with each slice roulate.  Makes
8 servings.
