Instructions:
- Wash the spinach thoroughly and pat dry with a paper towel.

- Thinly slice or chop the ham if it's not already prepared.
- In a medium-sized skillet, heat 1/2 tsp of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the spinach and sauté until it is wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the spinach from the skillet and set aside.
- In a small bowl, beat the two eggs together until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1/4 tsp of olive oil and heat over medium heat.

- Once the eggs are cooked, carefully slide them out of the skillet onto a flat surface or cutting board.

- Add the diced tomato and the chopped ham on top of the spinach layer.
- Starting from one edge, gently roll the egg sheet into a tight roll, ensuring the filling stays inside.
