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:
Spray your pan and place on low heat to start to warm up
If making toast get this in now too
In a bowl, crack your eggs and whisk well. Add the cream or water. Whisk more. You want this frothy. So use that arm!
Season to taste. I tend to use salt, pepper red pepper flakes and fresh parsley or cilantro. But dried works fine.
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.
When the filling is ready; Increase the heat on the pan to low-medium
Careful pour the egg mixture into the pan, allow the egg to spread out to all the sides and corners.
This will form a “square shaped” egg layer.
Let it cook until you see the the edges curl and the eggs start to look spongy, 2-4 mins
Add the filling down the center of the square
Top with shredded cheese and (shredded raw spinach optional)
Then fold over each side to cover the center like a letter.
It will look like an flat egg “burrito”. Roll it over once for 1-2 min.
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
