Whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks and add them to the previous mixture.

Step 3
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Pour this mixture into the dish lined with the baking parchment.
Bake for 8 minutes.

Turn the sponge out onto a slightly damp tea towel and roll it up on itself to give it its shape.
Blitz the walnuts roughly with the Roquefort and the single cream.
Spread it over the sponge.

Step 5
Roll the sponge up on itself, pressing well so there are no gaps when you serve it.
