👨‍🍳 How to Make It (Step-by-step)

Step 1: Beat the Eggs
Crack 2 eggs into a bowl and whisk lightly with a fork
💡 Tip: Don’t overbeat – gentle whisking keeps the texture tender

Step 2: Season Lightly
Add a pinch of salt and pepper
💡 Secret: A tiny dash of garlic powder enhances savouriness

Step 3: Pour into a Hot Pan
Heat a non-stick pan, then pour in the egg mixture
💡 Trick: Use medium heat to prevent overcooking

Step 4: Add the Tortilla
Place a soft tortilla directly on top of the eggs while they’re still wet
💡 Tip: Gently press so it sticks as it cooks

Step 5: Flip It Over
Once the eggs are set, flip the tortilla with the eggs underneath
💡 Use a large spatula or plate for an easy, clean flip

Step 6: Add the Fillings
Layer one half with pesto, ham, cheese, lettuce, and spicy carrots
💡 Spread the pesto first so the wrap doesn’t get soggy

Step 7: Fold in Half
Carefully fold the wrap over the filling
💡 Trick: Fold gently to avoid tearing the eggs beneath

Step 8: Toast Until Golden
Let the folded wrap toast in the pan until the cheese melts and edges crisp
💡 Bonus: Cover with a lid to help the cheese melt faster

Step 9: Slice it Up
Transfer to a board and slice diagonally
💡 Diagonal cuts make for a more café-style presentation

Step 10: Serve & Enjoy
Plate it hot, with extra pesto on the side if desired
💡 Optional: Sprinkle with sesame seeds or chilli flakes for extra flair
