Cheesymite Breakfast scrolls

Simple • savoury • meal prep friendly

These are one of those recipes that feels a little bit nostalgic.

Think of them as somewhere between an egg muffin and a savoury scroll. The wraps crisp slightly in the oven, the cheese melts through the layers, and the egg mixture sets everything into these soft, golden spirals.

They’re simple to make and great for meal prep. I like keeping a few in the fridge for quick breakfasts or an easy snack during the week. They also travel well, which makes them handy for work or school lunches.

You can keep them classic with just Marmite and cheese, or add a few vegetables if you have them on hand. Either way, they’re satisfying, comforting and very easy to put together.

Makes

About 12 scrolls

Ingredients

6 small wraps or tortillas (depending on which size you use)

1–2 tsp Marmite or any ‘mite’, spread very thinly

¾ cup grated cheese (cheddar works well)

Egg mixture

6 eggs

Salt and pepper

Optional extras

Chopped spring onion

Finely diced tomato

Spinach

Method

1. Prep the wraps

Lay the wraps flat.

Spread each one with a very thin layer of Marmite. A little goes a long way.

Sprinkle evenly with the grated cheese.

Stack three wraps on top of each other.

2. Roll

Roll the stack into a loose log.

Slice into 3 to 4 pieces, about 3 to 4 cm thick.

Repeat with the remaining wraps.

3. Arrange

Place the pieces cut side up in a greased muffin tray.

They should look like small spirals or flowers.

4. Make the egg mixture

Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.

5. Fill

Pour a little egg mixture into each muffin cup so it settles between the spiral layers.

If you are adding vegetables, scatter them in before pouring the egg mixture.

6. Bake

Bake at 180°C for 15 to 18 minutes, until puffed and golden.

Allow them to cool slightly before removing from the tray.

Notes

These keep well in the fridge for a few days and can be reheated in the oven, air fryer or microwave.

They are great for meal prep and make an easy savoury breakfast or snack when you need something quick.

Mindful Moment

There is something comforting about simple food like this.

The smell of cheese melting in the oven, the familiarity of flavours you grew up with, the satisfaction of making something with just a few ingredients.

Mindful eating does not have to be complicated or serious. Sometimes it is simply noticing those small moments of comfort and allowing yourself to enjoy them.
