Ham, egg, and spinach roll-ups with tomato and olive oil are a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. This recipe combines fresh vegetables, savory ham, and high-protein eggs to create a satisfying meal that’s quick to prepare and perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Instructions:
- Wash the spinach thoroughly and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Dice the half tomato into small pieces.
- 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.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, spreading them out evenly to form a thin layer.
- Allow the eggs to cook without stirring for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to lift slightly and the eggs are mostly set. You'll end up with something resembling a thin omelette or crepe.
- Once the eggs are cooked, carefully slide them out of the skillet onto a flat surface or cutting board.
- Distribute the sautéed spinach evenly over the egg sheet.
- 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.
- Slice the roll into 1-2 inch pieces, or serve as a whole roll, depending on your preference.
- If desired, drizzle a little extra olive oil on top of the roll-ups.
- Serve immediately while warm.
