Preparation
Step 1
The recipe lists ingredients for a single roll, but I made a double portion. Use large eggs with bright orange yolks for a beautiful yellow omelet.
Step 2
Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste, keeping in mind the saltiness of the fish. Beat with a fork until yolks and whites are fully combined.
Step 3
Grease a pan with vegetable oil and preheat well. A cast-iron, ceramic, or non-stick pan works. Use refined oil to prevent burning. Pour in the egg mixture. Cook on low heat about 2 minutes per side until cooked. Your egg pancake is ready.
Step 4
Prepare the remaining ingredients. Slice lightly salted red fish into thin strips.
Step 5
Wash and pat dry a fresh cucumber. If the skin is thin and undamaged, leave it on. Cut the cucumber into long sticks.
Step 6
Place the cooked egg pancake on a cutting board. Spread soft cream cheese over it. The cheese layer should be no more than 8 mm thick to allow rolling.
Step 7
Arrange cucumber sticks in two rows on the cheese, then fish strips in two rows. Continue alternating two rows cucumber and two rows fish.
Step 8
Roll the egg pancake tightly.
Step 9
Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for a couple of hours to cool and set.
Step 10
Remove from the fridge, unwrap, and slice into 2 cm thick pieces. Arrange neatly on a plate. Garnish with herbs like parsley or dill before serving.
