Tortilla, Egg, Ham & Cheese Easy Brekkie

Ingredients:

• 1 Coles tortilla wrap

• 2 large eggs

• 30g Coles English ham (diced)

• 20g Coles light shredded cheese

• Salt, pepper, and chives to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Wrap: Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Place the tortilla in an oven-friendly bowl.

2. Assemble the Ingredients: Crack the eggs directly onto the centre of the tortilla. Use a fork to lightly whisk the eggs in place if you prefer a scrambled texture.

3. Add Ham and Cheese: Sprinkle the diced ham and shredded cheese over the eggs. Season with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of chives for added flavour.

4. Bake: Pop the wrap in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the eggs have set, and the tortilla edges are slightly crisp and golden.

5. Serve and Enjoy: Slice into quarters for easy handling, or wrap it up to enjoy on the go!

   
   
   
   

   Tips for Perfecting Your Brekkie Wrap:

   1. Control the Crispiness: For a crispier wrap, bake it directly on the oven rack instead of a baking sheet. Or, if you prefer a softer texture, place the wrap on a baking sheet with a light drizzle of olive oil.

   2. Add More Veggies: Add diced bell peppers, baby spinach, or tomatoes for extra nutrients and flavour. Vegetables like spinach and mushrooms work particularly well and increase fibre and micronutrients.

   3. Switch Up the Cheese: Light shredded cheese is a good choice for keeping it light, but you can also use feta for a tangy twist or sprinkle mozzarella for extra gooeyness.

   4. Make it Spicy: Sprinkle a little crushed red pepper, a dash of hot sauce, or even jalapeños for a spicy kick to start your morning.

   5. Quick Clean-Up: Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or foil, which helps avoid a sticky mess and speeds up cleaning.

      
      

   Nutritional Benefits Breakdown:

   • Eggs: Packed with high-quality protein, essential fats, and vitamins like B12, eggs are a powerhouse in this meal. They provide a creamy texture and support muscle repair and brain health.

   • Ham: Adds a delicious, savoury flavour along with lean protein. Opt for low-sodium varieties to keep it heart-friendly.

   • Tortilla: Offers a quick source of carbs for energy. If you want a lower-carb option, try a low-carb wrap or even a whole-grain alternative for added fibre.

   • Light Shredded Cheese: Provides calcium and protein without too many extra calories. Light cheeses still melt nicely and give that savoury, cheesy flavour we love.

     
     

   Alternative Cooking Methods:

   Want a twist on this classic? Try these other ways to enjoy it:

   • Frittata Style: Scramble the eggs and pour them over the tortilla along with the diced ham and cheese. Bake as instructed, but add diced onion, spinach, and mushrooms for a more filling breakfast. This method yields a softer texture and a slightly different flavour profile.

   • Stovetop Method: If you’re short on time, cook this on a skillet. Simply lay the tortilla in the skillet over medium heat, pour in the eggs, add the ham, cheese, and seasonings, then cover with a lid to let it set.

     
     

   Make-Ahead & Storage Tips:

   This recipe is best enjoyed fresh, but it can also be made ahead for meal prep. Prepare the wrap as instructed, allow it to cool, and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat it in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 5 minutes, or enjoy it cold if you’re in a rush.
