Cheese Salad Meat Floss Cake Roll (The Encounter of Cheese and Cake)

Several chefs have mentioned that the cheese slides off the cake roll after baking. I baked it several times and never encountered this problem. Upon analysis, it might be because the salad dressing on the cake roll surface wasn't properly spread, or it could be related to the brand of salad dressing. Another possible reason is that the cheese was sprinkled too sparsely or it was too finely shredded, causing it not to form a solid layer after melting, and therefore sliding off. I hope everyone can try out the recipe and provide feedback. It will help me improve the recipe further, and you can also help analyze the cause of the cheese slipping.

Mix one-third of the egg whites with the yolk mixture using a cutting and folding technique (similar to stir-frying, avoiding circular stirring). Then pour the folded batter into the remaining egg whites and mix using the same technique. Pour it into a baking pan lined with parchment paper, and tap the pan on the counter a few times to release bubbles.

Cooking Tips

My baking pan measures 28*28 cm. The size of the pan isn't crucial, as long as it can roll into a cake roll. The final cheese topping is the highlight.
