👨🍳 How to Make It (Step-by-step)
Step 1: Crack the Eggs
Crack 2 fresh eggs into a small bowl
💡Use room-temperature eggs for fluffier results.
Step 2: Whisk & Season
Lightly whisk with a fork and season with a pinch of salt and pepper
💡A dash of milk will make it even silkier.
Step 3: Preheat Your Pan
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat
💡Brush with a drop of olive oil if your pan isn’t fully non-stick.
Step 4: Pour & Cook the Eggs
Pour the egg mixture into the pan and swirl gently to spread
💡Don’t over-stir — let it cook like a thin omelette.
Step 5: Add the Tortilla
Once the eggs are nearly set, place a tortilla directly on top
💡Press lightly so it sticks to the eggs as it cooks.
Step 6: Flip with Confidence
Flip the wrap to cook the tortilla side for about 1 minute
💡Use a large spatula for a smooth flip.
Step 7: Add the Fillings
On one half, add pesto, cheese, ham, lettuce, and carrots
💡Layer thinly to avoid overfilling.
Step 8: Fold in Half
Carefully fold the wrap over the filling
💡Use the spatula to press down gently for even toasting.
Step 9: Toast Until Melty
Toast for another 1–2 minutes until the cheese is melted and edges crisp
💡Watch the heat — don’t burn the tortilla!
Step 10: Slice & Serve
Remove from pan, slice in half, and serve immediately
💡Wrap in foil for an easy grab-and-go breakfast.
