Tortilla Breakfast Wrap image

Inspired by the Egg and Cheese Bread Omelet, we made a complete breakfast wrap--tortilla, eggs, spinach, cheese and ham included--entirely in one skillet, for a go-to dish you can make in a hurry. Enjoy right out of the pan or with a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce.

Categories     main-dish

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
One 8-inch whole-wheat tortilla
1/3 cup lightly packed baby spinach
2 slices American cheese
2 thin slices deli Black Forest ham

Steps:

  • Combine the eggs with a pinch of salt and several grinds of pepper in a small bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Melt the butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and swirl the skillet to coat the bottom. Working quickly, dip the tortilla in the eggs, then flip it over and place it back in the skillet (both sides should be coated in egg). Season with another pinch of salt.
  • Continue to cook the eggs until they are completely set on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes. Slide a large rubber or silicone spatula under the tortilla and flip the whole tortilla and egg over in one single motion. Scatter the spinach on the half of the tortilla that's closest to you, then top with the cheese and finally the ham. Continue to cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 1 minute more. Remove from the heat and slide onto a plate.
  • Starting with the side that has all the filling, start rolling the tortilla into a tight wrap or burrito. Keep the seam side facing downward so the wrap stays closed. Cut in half crosswise and serve.

THE ENGLISH BREAKFAST TORTILLA



The English Breakfast Tortilla image

Provided by Milton Crawford

Categories     Egg     Breakfast     Brunch     New Year's Day     Tortillas

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 medium-sized old potatoes, peeled and cut into thin slices
Olive oil, for frying
3 1/2 oz streaky bacon/pancetta
4 free-range pork chipolata sausages, each cut into 3 pieces
Handful of cup mushrooms, sliced
1/2 onion, finely diced
1/2 red sweet pepper, de-seeded and cut into 2-inch strips
Pinch of sweet paprika
1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme (optional)
6 medium-sized free-range eggs, lightly beaten and seasoned
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Milton's method
  • Wash and boil the sliced potatoes in salted water for about four minutes until they are slightly softened but still firm. Drain them and set aside.
  • In a medium-sized, non-stick, ovenproof frying pan (no plastic handle!) heat a little oil, and fry the bacon and sausages over medium-high heat for about six or seven minutes, stirring occasionally, until the ingredients begin to turn crispy and take on a golden brown color.
  • Add the mushrooms, along with the potatoes, stirring them in carefully so that the potatoes don't break up. Fry for another four minutes or so, until the potatoes start to golden.
  • Add the onion, fry for a couple more minutes and then add the sweet pepper, sweet paprika and thyme leaves. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Let everything cook for another two minutes, stirring to prevent burning.
  • Make sure the ingredients are evenly distributed, then reduce the heat to low-medium and pour in the eggs, tilting the pan and moving the ingredients around gently with a wooden spoon so the egg mixture reaches all corners of the pan. Leave it to cook gently for about six minutes or until the egg in contact with the base of the pan has set (you should then be able lift the tortilla away from the sides of the pan and slide it around).
  • Put the pan in a pre-heated broiler for five minutes until the egg on top has set.
  • Cut in half and serve with buttered toast and condiments of your choice; I like to have a couple of pickled chilis with this.
