Egg Breakfast Roll-Ups

Egg Breakfast Roll-Ups

Egg Breakfast Roll-Ups are a quick, protein-packed breakfast option combining fluffy eggs with cheese, veggies, and optional fillings, all wrapped in a tortilla or lettuce leaf for an easy, handheld meal perfect for busy mornings.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 3-4 roll-ups 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large fresh eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack)
  • 1/2 cup chopped spinach or kale
  • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • 3–4 tortilla wraps or large lettuce leaves

Optional Fillings and Variations

  • Cooked bacon, sausage, or ham (for meaty upgrade)
  • Mushrooms, tomatoes, or avocado (for veggie lovers)
  • Dairy-free cheese (for vegan or dairy-free option)
  • Jalapeños or hot sauce (for spicy kick)
  • Fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or basil (for herb infusion)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your filling: Whisk together the eggs with salt and pepper until well combined. Chop the vegetables and shred the cheese, getting them ready to add into the eggs.
  2. Cook the eggs: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil or butter. Pour in the egg mixture, stirring gently as it begins to set. Evenly add the veggies and cheese on top. Cook until eggs are fully set but still moist.
  3. Assemble the roll-ups: Lay a tortilla wrap or large lettuce leaf flat on a surface. Spoon the cooked egg mixture evenly onto it. Roll the wrap or leaf snugly to enclose the filling.
  4. Serve immediately or wrap for later: Enjoy the Egg Breakfast Roll-Ups fresh or wrap them in foil or parchment paper for an easy on-the-go breakfast.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for fluffier roll-ups and better texture.
  • Don’t overcook eggs; slightly undercook to keep them moist and tender.
  • Spread veggies and cheese evenly for balanced flavor in every bite.
  • Warm tortillas or lettuce leaves slightly to make rolling easier without cracking.
  • Prep chopped veggies or pre-cook meats the night before to save time in the morning.
