Introduction:
Take your lunchbox game to a whole new level with this delicious and nutritious Egg, Greens, and Cheese Tortilla. Perfect for both adults and children, this dish offers a delightful blend of flavors and textures.
Servings: Makes 2 servings
ingredients:
- 2 tsp butter
- 4 eggs (lightly beaten with a pinch of salt)
- 2 large (8- to 10-inch) flour tortillas
- 2 handfuls baby spinach
- ½ cup shredded gruyère (or any other hard cheese that melts well)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Tortillas: Start by making one tortilla at a time.
- Melt Butter: In a medium nonstick pan over medium heat, melt half of the butter.
- Add Eggs: Pour in half of the beaten eggs. Quickly top it with a tortilla. Gently press the tortilla so that a portion of the egg mixture flows over the top side.
- Add Spinach and Cheese: After a minute, sprinkle half of the spinach and cheese over the tortilla.
- Cover and Cook: Put a lid on the pan and let it cook for another 2 minutes. By this time, the spinach should have wilted, and the cheese melted to perfection.
- Fold or Roll: You can now fold the tortilla, much like an omelette, and pack it as is for lunch. Alternatively, slide it onto a cutting board, let it cool a bit, then roll it up. Slice it into suitable pieces to fit in your lunchbox.
- Repeat: Use the remaining ingredients to make the second serving.
Packing Tip:
To keep the tortilla fresh and prevent sogginess, wrap it in parchment paper or foil before placing it in the lunchbox.
Indulge in this wholesome and filling treat that promises a burst of flavors with every bite. Whether it’s for a quick breakfast or a packed lunch, this Egg, Greens, and Cheese Tortilla will not disappoint!
