Description

This simple recipe, requiring just a handful of ingredients, allows you to create a satisfying and flavorful dish in under 30 minutes. Inspired by rolled egg preparations from Korean and Japanese cuisine, the method may appear intricate at first glance, but it's surprisingly straightforward, and the resulting spiral presentation is quite impressive. The process begins with browning seasoned ground meat.

Separately, eggs are whisked with cream and milk, and a portion of this mixture is poured into a pan to form a thin layer. Over this delicate egg crepe, layers of the cooked meat and cheese are carefully arranged. The egg is then rolled partially, and more egg mixture is added to the pan, fusing with the previous layer and creating a continuous, layered roll.

The result is a protein-rich, savory delight, ideal for a hearty breakfast or a substantial lunch. The specific seasoning blend adds a distinctive character to the dish; however, for a more elemental flavor profile, the spices can be omitted, allowing the natural flavors of the meat and cheese to shine. Enjoy it as is, or enhance it with a dollop of sour cream or a dash of your favorite hot sauce, if you wish.

Sourcing quality ground meat is recommended. The recipe was developed using ground beef with a moderate fat content, but you can adapt it using your preferred type of ground meat. Feel free to experiment with alternative ground meats such as venison, chicken, turkey, or pork, and consider incorporating different herbs for unique variations.

You could also try it with shredded beef. Pre-shredded cheese from the store often contains additives to prevent clumping, so be sure to check the ingredient list. For best results, use standard block cheese rather than fresh mozzarella balls, as the moisture content differs significantly.

This type of cheese grates easily and melts beautifully. The recipe calls for a seasoning blend. Ensure any pre-mixed spices you use are free from added sugars.

If you don't have a pre-mixed blend, you can easily create your own using a combination of chili powder, ground cumin, and onion powder. If your spice collection is limited, chili powder and cumin alone will provide a flavorful base, delivering both warmth and earthy notes. This dish is best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and should be consumed within three days.

To reheat, microwave for a short period, or warm it gently in a pan over low heat until heated through.

Instructions

    1.
    Shred the mozzarella on the large edge of a box grater, set it aside. In a large bowl or quart-size measuring jug, whisk together the eggs and milk then set iaside. Gather all the spices and sea salt and mix to combine in a small bowl. Or, use 1.5 tablespoon if you have a taco spice mix.
    2.
    Heat 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a large non-stick frying pan set over medium heat. Add the ground beef and saute until browned and all the juices have evaporated. Add all the spices and a good grind of black pepper and mix through. Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl.
    3.
    Clean the pan with a paper towel. Add a smear of butter into the pan to coat the base and bring it up to medium heat. Pour about 1/3 cup of the egg mixture into the pan, enough to thinly cover the surface, and rotate the pan until a thin layer forms. When the bottom is set and the top is still a little wet, sprinkle a thin layer of mozzarella over the egg and top with the same amount of the beef mixture. Start rolling up one edge of the egg until you reach the end. Push the rolled egg to the edge of the skillet leaving the opening slightly exposed. Repeat the process. Add a smear of butter and pour another 1/3 cup of the egg mixture into the pan. Rotate the pan to evenly cover the base and fuse with the previous layer.
    4.
    Layer on more mozzarella and beef and leave to cook until the bottom is set and ready to roll! Keep repeating this process until you have finished the egg and ground beef mixture.
    5.
    This recipe will make one very large burrito egg roll. It can be cut in half to share, or you can divide the mixture and make 2 individual rolls. Serve with sour cream, hot sauce (optional), and a good grind of black pepper.
