Introduction

This Tortilla Egg Breakfast Rollup is a quick and satisfying morning meal that combines fluffy eggs, fresh veggies, and savory bacon all wrapped in a warm flour tortilla. It’s perfect for a grab-and-go breakfast or a cozy weekend treat. Customize it with your favorite fillings for a delicious start to your day.

A white plate sits on a wooden board atop a white marbled surface, filled with six rolled tortillas. Each tortilla shows two to three inner layers: a soft, thin, pale yellow egg layer with slight browning, combined with fillings inside. Some wraps contain bright orange chunks with creamy white cheese and green spinach leaves layered in between, while others have just the folded egg layer with tortillas. The tortillas themselves are light beige with small, darker spots from cooking. The wraps are arranged closely together, showcasing varied textures and colors within each roll. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 egg

1 tablespoon milk

Pinch of salt

Pinch of pepper

1 small 6-inch flour tortilla (Mission soft fajita tortillas recommended)

1 teaspoon olive oil or olive oil spray

2 slices cooked bacon, crumbled

2 tablespoons shredded cheese

¼ cup baby spinach, roughly chopped

2 tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled

2 tablespoons bell pepper, finely diced

1 scallion, chopped

Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, scramble the egg with milk, salt, and pepper. Stir in the chopped spinach, diced bell pepper, and chopped scallion.

Step 2: Preheat a 6-inch non-stick pan and brush it with olive oil or spray with olive oil spray.

Step 3: Pour the egg mixture into the pan and tilt it to spread the egg evenly, similar to making crepes. Add any additional toppings on top if desired.

Step 4: Cook for about 30 seconds until the egg is mostly set but still slightly wet on top.

Step 5: Gently press the tortilla into the egg using a spatula or your hands, being careful of the hot pan.

Step 6: After 30 seconds, carefully flip the egg and tortilla so the tortilla is on the bottom. Cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute until the tortilla is warmed but not burnt.

Step 7: Remove the tortilla from the pan onto a plate. Use a spatula and fork if needed to roll the tortilla into a tight roll. Return it to the pan seam-side down and cook for 30 more seconds. Transfer to a plate or wire rack to cool slightly, then slice in half and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

Use different cheese varieties like cheddar or pepper jack for varied flavors.

Add avocado slices or salsa inside the roll for extra creaminess and zest.

Swap bacon with cooked sausage or ham for a different protein option.

To make it vegetarian, omit the bacon and add mushrooms or tomatoes.

Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas if preferred.

FAQs

Can I prepare the egg mixture in advance?

Yes, you can mix the eggs and vegetables ahead of time and store the mixture in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Cook the rollups fresh for the best texture and flavor.

What can I use if I don’t have a non-stick pan?

If you don’t have a non-stick pan, use a well-seasoned skillet or a cast iron pan with plenty of oil to prevent sticking. Cooking gently over medium-low heat helps avoid burning.
