Cheese and Spinach Roulade image

I can't remember where I found this recipe...it was scribbled on a card from long ago. It's very good - perfect for a summer luncheon. A spinach semi-jellyroll is filled with a cheesy herbed luciosness... You can replace the Feta cheese with Parmesan if you like, and the mozzarella can be a pizza or Italian cheese mix.
