Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 2
Ingredients:
3 eggs
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Red pepper (optional), to taste
2 spring onions (chopped)
1 tomato (diced)
1 tablespoon butter
1 large tortilla
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
1 cup fresh spinach (roughly chopped)
Directions:
Prepare the ingredients:
Crack the 3 eggs into a bowl, season with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of red pepper. Whisk together until fully combined.
Chop the spring onions, dice the tomato, and roughly chop the spinach.
Cook the eggs:
Heat butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped spring onions and sauté until softened, about 2 minutes.
Pour in the beaten eggs and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set.
Assemble the tortilla:
Lay the tortilla on a flat surface. Spread the scrambled eggs evenly over the tortilla.
Add the diced tomato, spinach, and mozzarella cheese.
Fold and heat:
Fold the tortilla into a wrap or half-moon shape. Heat the wrapped tortilla on a pan for 2-3 minutes on each side, until crispy and golden brown.
Serve:
Slice the tortilla into wedges and serve immediately.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve with a side of fresh avocado for added creaminess.
Pair with a light salad for a well-rounded meal.
Enjoy with a hot sauce or salsa for extra flavor.
Add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt for a tangy twist.
Serve with a fresh fruit salad for a sweet contrast.
Cooking Tips:
For a lighter version, use egg whites instead of whole eggs.
Add other veggies such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini to increase the flavor and nutrition.
If you prefer a crispier tortilla, heat it in a pan without folding first, then add the fillings and fold.
For extra cheese, sprinkle more mozzarella on top just before folding the tortilla.
