4 T. butter
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp. salt
Pepper to taste
2 cups milk
6 eggs
2 bunches cleaned fresh spinach OR 2 10-oz packages frozen spinach

Melt butter in a sauce pan, blend in flour, salt, and pepper. Whisk in the milk, bringing the mixture to boil. Stir constantly until thickened. Cool mixture. Add the egg yolks and beat. In a separate bowl beat the egg whites until stiff. Fold them into the cooled sauce. Line a greased jelly roll pan with waxed paper, then butter and flour the waxed paper. Pour the soufflé mixture over the waxed paper, spreading lightly to form an even layer. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until nicely browned. While soufflé is baking make the filling. Sauté the spinach and mushrooms in butter until tender and liquid has been reduced. Add the cream cheese and mix well. Season to taste. Set aside but keep warm. Turn soufflé immediately onto a towel. Carefully remove waxed paper. Roll up lengthwise with the towel inside. After a minute or so, unroll. Spread filling evenly over the soufflé. Roll up jelly roll style with the help of the towel. Serve immediately!
