I love that it’s made with just a few everyday ingredients – eggs, milk, cheese, and a tortilla – and comes together so quickly. It works perfectly for breakfast, brunch, or even a light lunch.

What makes this recipe special is the cooking method: the omelette is cooked first, then gently joined with the tortilla and flipped, creating a soft, golden wrap that’s rolled, sliced, and enjoyed warm. It’s easy, practical, and perfect for days when you want something protein-rich without spending much time in the kitchen.

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with milk, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a small amount of avocado oil or butter.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and let it cook gently.
  4. Sprinkle grated cheese evenly over the omelette.
  5. When the omelette is almost set but still slightly soft on top, place the tortilla directly on top of the omelette.
  6. Using a plate, carefully flip the omelette and tortilla together so the tortilla is now touching the pan and the omelette is on top.
  7. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until the tortilla is lightly golden.
  8. Slide onto a plate, roll into a wrap, and cut in half before serving.
