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
Others
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the skillet: Heat a medium-sized skillet over low-medium heat and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Avoid using too small or too large skillets to ensure the eggs cook to the right thickness for rolling.
- Prepare the egg mixture: Crack two eggs into a bowl, add ¼ teaspoon of garlic salt and pepper to taste, then add a splash of milk. Whisk until well combined.
- Cook the eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet and allow the bottom to set completely. This prevents ham from sinking and creates a firm base for rolling.
- Add fillings: Once the eggs are set on the bottom, place four slices of ham evenly over the eggs (two slices on each half). Sprinkle ¼ cup cheddar and ¼ cup mozzarella cheese over the ham.
- Cover and melt cheese: Cover the skillet with a lid to help the top of the eggs cook through and the cheese melt thoroughly.
- Roll the eggs: When the eggs are fully set and the cheese has melted, turn off the stove. Using a flat spatula and a fork, carefully roll the egg mixture tightly from one side, making sure the ham runs lengthwise within the roll.
- Seal the roll: Either roll the eggs in the pan or transfer to a plate before rolling. If rolling in the pan, let the seam rest on the hot skillet for about a minute to seal.
- Slice and serve: Cut the roll into halves or coins and enjoy the ham and cheesy goodness of this low carb breakfast treat.
Notes
- Use a medium-sized skillet to achieve the perfect egg thickness for rolling.
- Rolling the eggs while still warm helps seal the roll better.
- Adjust seasoning with garlic salt and pepper to your taste preference.
- For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like chives or parsley to the egg mixture.
- This recipe is great for meal prep and can be refrigerated and reheated.
