Step-by-Step Directions
1. Whisk the Eggs
Crack 2 eggs into a bowl and whisk thoroughly until fully blended. You want the yolks and whites completely combined for an even “wrap.”
2. Cook the Egg Wrap
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease if needed.
Pour in the whisked eggs and swirl the pan to create a thin, crepe-like layer. Let it cook undisturbed for about 1–2 minutes.
3. Add Fillings
Once the eggs are mostly set (but slightly glossy on top), place the cheese slice and deli meat on one side of the egg round.
4. Melt & Fold
Allow it to cook for another 1–2 minutes until the cheese begins to melt.
Using a spatula, gently fold the egg over like a taco or burrito.
5. Serve
Remove from the pan and serve immediately while warm and melty.
Total time? About 7–8 minutes.
Tips for Success
- Use a nonstick pan. This is crucial for easy flipping.
- Keep the heat moderate. Too high and the eggs brown too quickly.
- Don’t overcook. Slightly soft eggs make folding easier.
- Let the cheese melt fully. It acts as the “glue” holding everything together.
- Meal prep tip: Make 2–3 at once and reheat gently in a skillet.
