Ingredients You’ll Need
Most of these items are likely already in your fridge. Fresh ingredients make the best flavor profile.
- 8 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 8 strips pre-cooked bacon, chopped
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, minced
Step-by-Step Directions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until the texture is uniform and aerated.
- Place a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter to coat the surface.
- Pour approximately 1/4 of the egg mixture into the skillet, swirling to create a thin, even layer similar to a crepe.
- Cook for 2 minutes or until the edges are set and the bottom is lightly golden.
- Sprinkle 1/4 of the cheese, chopped bacon, spinach, and chives evenly over the surface of the egg layer.
- Once the cheese begins to melt, use a spatula to carefully roll the egg layer tightly from one end to the other.
- Remove the roll-up from the heat and repeat the process for the remaining three portions.
- Slice each roll-up in half diagonally and serve immediately.
Best Ways to Enjoy It
Serve these low carb breakfast roll ups warm for the best experience. They look beautiful when sliced on a diagonal. Pair them with a few slices of fresh avocado or a side of berries.
If you like a bit of heat, drizzle some hot sauce on top. They are great for a quick weekday breakfast or a relaxed weekend brunch. Set the table and enjoy a peaceful start to your day.
Storage & Reheating
These roll ups store beautifully in the refrigerator. Place them in an airtight container for up to four days. This makes them a dream for meal prep enthusiasts.
To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for 30-45 seconds. You can also warm them in a skillet for a crispy exterior. They stay tender and delicious even after reheating.
Tips for Best Results
- Don’t skip whisking the eggs thoroughly to get that light, airy texture.
- Use medium-low heat to prevent the eggs from browning too quickly or becoming rubbery.
- Chop your spinach very finely so it wilts quickly from the residual heat.
- Try using pre-cooked bacon to save significant time on busy weekday mornings.
- Wait for the cheese to melt slightly before rolling to help the wrap hold its shape.
- Use a wide, flat spatula to make the rolling process smooth and easy.
Ways to Switch It Up
- Swap the bacon for cooked breakfast sausage or diced ham.
- Use pepper jack cheese if you want an extra kick of spice.
- Add finely diced bell peppers for a crunchy seasonal twist.
- Substitute heavy cream with unsweetened almond milk for a dairy-lighter option.
Common Questions
Can I freeze these roll ups?
Yes, you can freeze them for up to one month. Wrap each roll individually in foil before placing them in a freezer bag. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
Are these suitable for a keto diet?
Absolutely, these are very keto-friendly. They are high in healthy fats and protein while keeping the carbs very low. They are perfect for staying in ketosis.
I hope these roll ups make your mornings feel a little brighter and easier. It is the perfect cozy breakfast for a chilly winter start. Happy cooking!
