Morning After Stuffed Flat-Rolled Eggs

This one of my favorite ways to make eggs. So it was fitting I use it as my meal #2 of the Food Pantry Challenge. Not only is it fast; with just 2 -3 eggs I can feed three people based on the leftovers I add. It also makes for great sandwiches to take to school or as a quick lunch or dinner with a side salad

Ingredients:

  • Square flat pan (or a large skillet)

  • Cooking spray

  • 2-3 Large eggs

  • 2 tablespoons of Water or Cream for the eggs

  • 1 cup of shredded cheese

  • Salt, Pepper to taste

  • Red pepper flakes (optional) 

  • Fresh or dried herbs

  • Spinach (optional)

    Filling - this can be anything you have handy. Leftover proteins, leftover or canned and drained potatoes, vegetables, lunch meat, cheese etc.

Preparation:

  1. Spray your pan and place on low heat to start to warm up

  2. If making toast get this in now too

  3. In a bowl, crack your eggs and whisk well. Add the cream or water. Whisk more. You want this frothy. So use that arm!

  4. Season to taste. I tend to use salt, pepper red pepper flakes and fresh parsley or cilantro. But dried works fine.

  5. Chop your filling mix and toss it into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, heating in the microwave for 3-4 mins. You want it warm as the eggs themselves don’t take long to cook.

  6. When the filling is ready; Increase the heat on the pan to low-medium

  7. Careful pour the egg mixture into the pan, allow the egg to spread out to all the sides and corners.

  8. This will form a “square shaped” egg layer. 

  9. Let it cook until you see the the edges curl and the eggs start to look spongy, 2-4 mins

  10. Add the filling down the center of the square

  11. Top with shredded cheese and (shredded raw spinach optional)

  12. Then fold over each side to cover the center like a letter.

  13. It will look like an flat egg “burrito”. Roll it over once for 1-2 min.

  14. You can slide this on a cutting board and slice to serve.

Note: This also works great as a lunch or dinner with a side salad or as I did it for the Food Pantry Challenge with a simple banana and apple salad with a spoonful of greek yogurt and a drizzle of honey
