Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Fillings
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or preferred cheese)
- 1/2 cup fresh veggies (bell peppers, spinach, tomatoes, or your choice)
- 1/4 cup cooked meat (ham, bacon, or sausage bits) – optional
Cooking Fat
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
Instructions
- Whisk Your Eggs: Crack your eggs into a bowl, add a splash of milk or cream, then season with salt and pepper. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy to ensure a fluffy outcome.
- Prepare Your Fillings: While the eggs rest, chop and lightly sauté any vegetables or cooked meats you’d like to add. Grate or slice the cheese you’ll be using, keeping everything ready to assemble.
- Cook the Egg Base: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a bit of butter or olive oil. Pour in the egg mixture, swirling the pan to spread the eggs evenly into a thin, pancake-like layer.
- Add Fillings: Once the eggs start to set but are still slightly soft on top, sprinkle your prepared fillings evenly across the surface. Let everything warm and the cheese melt gently.
- Roll It Up: Using a spatula, carefully lift one edge of the egg and roll it up over the fillings, creating a tight roll. Slide the roll onto a plate and let it cool for a minute to hold its shape.
Notes
- Use a quality non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and ensure easy rolling.
- Remove eggs from heat while still slightly soft for a tender roll.
- Fresh veggies and cheese greatly enhance flavor.
- Beat eggs well to produce fluffier, more pliable egg sheets.
- Prep fillings ahead to shorten cooking time.
