Ingredients
Scale
Wrap
- 2 sheets rice paper
- 1 tbsp neutral oil (canola or sunflower)
- 1 pinch chili flakes or black pepper
- Salt to taste
Filling
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
- 2 tbsp chopped scallions
- 0.5 small bell pepper, finely diced
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Prepare all ingredients by measuring and chopping, keeping them ready for quick cooking.
- Heat Oil: Warm 1 tablespoon of neutral oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
- Soften Rice Paper: Place one rice paper sheet in the skillet and lightly brush or spray with water. Let it soften for 20 to 30 seconds until pliable.
- Add Egg: Crack one egg onto the softened rice paper and use a spatula to spread it evenly over the surface.
- Sprinkle Fillings: Distribute half of the shredded cheese, chopped scallions, diced bell pepper, and a pinch of chili flakes or black pepper evenly on top of the egg. Season with a little salt.
- Cook the Wrap: Allow the wrap to cook undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes until the egg sets and the cheese begins to melt.
- Fold and Seal: Gently fold in the edges of the rice paper or roll it into a wrap shape, pressing lightly to seal all fillings inside.
- Crisp It Up: Flip the wrap carefully and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the wrap turns golden brown and crispy.
- Repeat Process: Repeat the above steps with the second rice paper sheet and remaining ingredients.
- Serve & Enjoy: Cut the wraps in half and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Adjust seasoning to taste by adding more chili flakes for spiciness or herbs like cilantro for extra flavor.
- Use any shredded cheese you prefer, such as pepper jack for a spicy kick or gouda for a smoky taste.
- Rice paper cooks quickly, so monitor closely to avoid burning or overcooking.
- These wraps are best served fresh to enjoy the crisp texture of the rice paper.
- For a gluten-free dish, ensure the rice paper used is certified gluten-free.
