Description
Quick and easy cheesy breakfast roll-ups that come together in under 10 minutes. These lighter swaps offer a creamy, gooey cheese experience with fluffy eggs and crisp tortillas, perfect for busy mornings or meal prep.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 to 6 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons whole milk or heavy cream
- Pinch of sea salt
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- 4 to 6 small flour tortillas (6-inch size)
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or olive oil
- Optional: Diced bell peppers, spinach, or cooked bacon bits
Instructions
- Crack eggs into a mixing bowl. Add milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk vigorously until uniform and slightly frothy.
- Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add butter or oil and let it melt until foamy but not smoking.
- Pour egg mixture into the center of the pan. Let sit for 10 seconds, then gently push cooked edges toward the center, tilting the pan to fill gaps with uncooked egg.
- Continue cooking until eggs are mostly set but still slightly wet on top (about 3-4 minutes). Do not overcook.
- While eggs cook, warm tortillas in the microwave for 15 seconds or in a dry pan for 30 seconds per side until soft and flexible.
- Slide the cooked egg layer onto a plate. Place a warm tortilla on the same plate.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border at the edges.
- Place the cooked egg layer on top of the cheese.
- Starting from one short end, tightly roll the tortilla up. Tuck in sides if needed.
- Place the roll-up seam-side down back into the skillet.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
- Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
Ensure tortillas are warm and pliable to prevent tearing. Do not overfill the roll-ups. For meal prep, cook eggs in a large batch, let cool, assemble, and store. Reheat in an air fryer or oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving if you want to maintain texture.
