Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 8 eggs
- 1 tsp garlic salt
- Pepper to taste
- ½ cup milk
Fillings
- ½ pound sliced ham (thinly sliced)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Other
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare the skillet: Heat a medium-sized skillet over low to medium heat and spray it with nonstick cooking spray. Avoid using the smallest or largest skillet to ensure your egg layer is neither too thick nor too thin, which helps in rolling and holding the roll together.
- Whisk eggs: Crack two eggs into a bowl, add ¼ teaspoon of garlic salt, pepper to taste, and a splash of milk. Whisk thoroughly to combine.
- Cook egg layer: Pour the beaten eggs into the hot skillet and cook just until the bottom is set. This ensures that when you add the ham, it won’t sink, creating a firm base for rolling.
- Add fillings: Lay four slices of ham evenly over the egg layer (two slices on each half). Sprinkle ¼ cup of shredded cheddar and ¼ cup of shredded mozzarella evenly over the ham.
- Cover and melt cheese: Place a lid over the skillet to help the top of the eggs cook through and the cheese to melt, keeping the ingredients warm and cohesive.
- Roll the eggs: Once the cheese is melted and eggs are firmly set, turn off the stove. Using a flat spatula and a fork, carefully begin rolling the egg mixture tightly from one side, ensuring the ham runs lengthwise inside the roll.
- Seal the roll: You can roll the eggs directly in the pan or transfer to a plate first. If rolled in the pan, let the seam side rest in the hot skillet for about a minute to seal the roll edges together.
- Serve: Slice the roll in half or cut into bite-sized coins to enjoy a cheesy, ham-filled breakfast that’s low in carbs and big on flavor.
Notes
- Using a medium skillet is key to achieving the right thickness for easy rolling.
- Covering the skillet helps melt the cheese evenly without overcooking the eggs.
- You can substitute ham with turkey or bacon for variation.
- For a dairy-free version, omit cheese or use non-dairy alternatives.
- This recipe makes 4 servings, perfect for a small family breakfast or meal prep.
