Ingredients
Egg Mixture
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch pepper
- ¼ cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons bell pepper, finely diced
- 1 scallion, chopped
Tortilla & Cooking
- 1 small 6-inch flour tortilla (Mission soft fajita tortilla recommended)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or olive oil spray
Fillings & Toppings
- Cooked beef, crumbled (quantity to taste)
- 2 tablespoons shredded cheese (such as cheddar or your choice)
- 2 tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled
Instructions
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir in the chopped spinach, diced bell pepper, and scallion to incorporate the veggies evenly into the egg mixture.
- Preheat the Pan: Heat a 6-inch non-stick pan over medium heat. Brush the pan lightly with olive oil or spray oil evenly to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Egg Layer: Pour the egg mixture into the pan, tilting it so the egg spreads out thinly like a crepe covering the bottom. This creates a thin, flexible egg base for the rollup.
- Add Toppings: When the egg is just set but still slightly wet on top, sprinkle cooked crumbled beef, shredded cheese, and crumbled feta evenly over the surface.
- Press the Tortilla: Carefully press the tortilla onto the egg layer in the pan, using a spatula or your hands while being cautious of heat, ensuring it sticks to the egg.
- Flip Carefully: After about 30 seconds, flip the combined egg and tortilla so the tortilla side is down. Cook an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute to warm the tortilla without burning it.
- Roll and Finish Cooking: Transfer the egg-tortilla to a plate. Using a spatula and fork if needed, roll the tortilla into a tight roll. Return the roll to the pan seam-side down and cook for 30 seconds more to seal the roll and crisp slightly.
- Serve: Remove from the pan and let cool briefly on a wire rack or plate. Slice in half and serve warm for a portable, tasty breakfast.
Notes
- You can substitute the vegetables and cheese according to preference or dietary needs.
- Use a non-stick pan to ensure easy flipping and removal of the egg layer.
- The rollup is best served warm but can be refrigerated and gently reheated.
- Be cautious when flipping and pressing the tortilla to avoid burns.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the cooked beef or replace it with a plant-based alternative.
