Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup cooked ham, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or your choice)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or thyme)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter.


2. Prepare the Egg Mixture

In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until smooth.


3. Cook the Spinach

In a small skillet, sauté the chopped spinach over medium heat for 2–3 minutes until wilted. Allow it to cool slightly.


4. Assemble the Roll

  • Lay out a clean kitchen towel and lightly grease it.
  • Pour the egg mixture into a greased baking sheet or jelly roll pan, spreading it evenly.
  • Bake for 10–12 minutes until the eggs are set but still pliable.

Sprinkle the cooked spinach, chopped ham, shredded cheese, and herbs evenly over the baked egg sheet.


5. Roll the Egg

  • Using the parchment or towel, carefully roll the egg sheet into a tight spiral, starting from one short end.
  • Place the roll seam-side down on a serving platter.

6. Serve

  • Slice into 1–2 inch thick pieces and serve warm.
  • Optionally, drizzle with a little sauce, such as hollandaise, mustard cream, or a light cheese sauce for extra flavor.

Tips for Perfect Spinach Ham Breakfast Roll

  • Don’t overcook the egg sheet: It should be firm enough to hold the roll but soft enough to avoid cracking.
  • Chill slightly before slicing: If the roll is too hot, it may crumble.
  • Customize fillings: Add mushrooms, bell peppers, or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor.
  • Make ahead: Roll can be wrapped in foil and stored in the fridge for 2–3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
