Description

Transform your morning routine with this delightful egg roll, inspired by the creamy, savory flavors of classic sushi rolls. Imagine a fluffy, golden omelet embracing a heart of warm, decadent cream cheese and succulent, lightly grilled shrimp. This isn't just breakfast; it's an experience, a fusion of textures and tastes that will awaken your senses and leave you feeling satisfied.

The beauty of this recipe lies in its versatility. Feel free to let your culinary creativity shine by incorporating your favorite seasonings and flavor combinations. Consider a sprinkle of garlic powder for a savory kick, a dash of smoked paprika for a hint of warmth, or a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of spice.

The possibilities are endless! While this egg roll is perfect as a protein-packed breakfast, don't limit yourself! It also makes a fantastic mid-day snack or a light lunch option.

Prepare a batch ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for a quick and easy meal anytime. Simply reheat in the microwave or enjoy cold. To elevate the sushi inspiration, try adding a layer of toasted seaweed before rolling up the omelet.

The subtle saltiness and umami flavor of the seaweed perfectly complement the cream cheese and shrimp. Sesame seeds add a nutty crunch, while thinly sliced green onions provide a fresh, vibrant note. When preparing the omelet, patience is key.

Cooking it over low heat ensures it cooks evenly and prevents it from burning. Using a lid to cover the pan helps to trap heat and cook the top of the omelet, while gently piercing any uncooked yolk allows it to reach the hot surface of the pan for faster cooking. A non-stick pan is essential for this recipe, as it prevents the omelet from sticking and tearing.

A well-seasoned cast-iron pan works wonders, providing even heat distribution and a beautiful golden color. This egg roll is more than just a recipe; it's an invitation to explore new flavors, experiment with different ingredients, and create a breakfast (or any-time-of-day) dish that is truly your own. Enjoy the journey and savor every bite!

Instructions

    1.
    Peel and devein jumbo shrimp, and pat them dry with a paper towel. Toss the shrimp in a bowl with one pinch each of the following spices: salt, pepper, cayenne, paprika, and sesame seeds. However, you are welcome to season the shrimp to your liking. Meanwhile, melt the first amount of butter in a small non-stick pan or cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
    2.
    When the butter is hot, place the shrimp in the pan. Cook the shrimp for just 2-3 minutes on each side. You want the shrimp just cooked through and lightly grilled spices on the outside. When done, chop the cooked shrimp and set them aside for later. In a clean mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and salt. Wipe the pan you used clean and melt the second amount of butter over a low heat setting on the stove.
    3.
    Pour the egg mixture into the hot butter. Leave the eggs undisturbed as they cook into an omelet. You can place a lid over the pan to help you cook. It may take up to 5 minutes or longer for the egg to cook through. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning. When the egg omelet is cooked, slide it out onto a sheet of parchment paper to cool slightly. Microwave the cream cheese until it is soft. Then, spread the cream cheese over the top of the omelet.
    4.
    At your discretion, you may add any additional spices or condiments over the cream cheese. In this recipe, Sriracha was added optionally. Arrange the chopped shrimp in a horizontal edge on one side of the omelet, as if you were preparing sushi. Use the parchment paper to lift that end of the omelet and fold it over the shrimp. Gently continue rolling the egg until you have a fat You Youcsushi You You roll.
    5.
    Slice the egg roll into 4-6 pieces. Again, at your discretion, you can add any toppings you would enjoy. Here, this roll was garnished with extra Sriracha, sesame seeds, and chopped green onion. Serve the roll either as a warm breakfast or you can refrigerate the pieces and enjoy them as a cold snack.
