Yesterday I had 25 minutes before I had to leave for work and I was thinking what I could make super quick to take to work. I looked in my fridge, I had eggs, some veggies, and I happened to spy an opened package of egg roll wrappers that needed to be used up. I wondered how many calories they were, so I looked on the back 3 wrappers – 170 calories!
I wondered what if I tried to make breakfast egg rolls?
Prep Time: 5 minutes

So quick and easy to make!
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 green onions
- 1 carrot
- 1/2 cup cauliflower
- 1-2 tsp. olive oil
- 3 egg roll wrappers
Instructions
- In a mini food processor, add the carrot, green onion and cauliflower and pulse until it resembles rice.
- In a small bowl, beat the 2 eggs together. Cook the eggs on low heat (this makes them fluffier) until desired doneness. Set aside.
- In the same skillet add the veggies and cook for several minutes. Add the eggs back in and mix all the ingredients together. Salt and pepper to taste. Remove from skillet.
- Take 1 egg roll wrapper and add about 3 tablespoons of the mixture in the middle. Fold from the bottom up, then the sides, roll tightly and wet the edges with water so it sticks together.
- Using a pastry brush, brush olive oil over the egg roll wrappers and cook in the skillet on low heat for about 3 minutes per side. If the heat is too high it will burn the outsides fast!
I brought a little stir fry sauce to work and dipped the egg rolls into that. DELISH! This kept me full for HOURS!!!
The best part, under 400 calories, for a totally deluxe breakfast.
Here is an example of how to wrap an egg roll:
I’m thinking you could make so many variations of these. Adding different veggies, maybe turkey sausage?
What ideas can you think of? This would be great for brunch too!
