Broccoli Egg Tortilla Fold puts eggs, chopped broccoli, and melted mozzarella inside a warm, golden tortilla. Pour the eggs into a skillet first. Add broccoli, then cheese, press a tortilla on top, and flip the whole thing. Fold it when the egg is cooked through and the cheese has melted.

How to Make a Broccoli Egg Tortilla Fold

Whisk the eggs, then pour them into a heated nonstick skillet. Scatter the finely chopped broccoli over the eggs. Let the edges begin to set before you add the cheese.

Chop the broccoli small so it lies close to the egg. The original recipe adds it straight to the eggs; there is no separate broccoli-cooking step.

Add Mozzarella Before the Tortilla

Sprinkle mozzarella over the egg and broccoli while they are still in the pan. Lay the tortilla on top and press gently. This keeps the cheese between the egg and tortilla after the flip.

Wait until the egg holds together before lifting it with a wide spatula. If it still runs across the pan, give it a little more time.

Flip, Fold, and Serve

Flip the egg and tortilla together. Keep cooking until the tortilla is golden, the mozzarella melts, and the egg is firm throughout. Then fold and slice.

A skillet close to the tortilla’s width makes the flip easier. Use a wide spatula and lift from the middle rather than tugging at one edge.

What Goes in the Wrap?

The owner’s original recipe has four ingredients: eggs, broccoli, mozzarella, and tortilla. This candidate proposes two large eggs, 1/2 cup finely chopped broccoli, 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella, and one 8-inch tortilla for a single fold. The original post did not specify amounts.

The type and weight of your tortilla and mozzarella will affect the nutrition estimate. There are no extra ingredients in this proposed version.

Another Savory Breakfast to Try

For a breakfast you can bake and cut into squares, see the Sweet Potato Crust Egg Bake. It uses a potato base instead of a folded tortilla.

Frequently Asked Questions

When do I add the mozzarella?

Add it after the broccoli and before placing the tortilla on top. It melts between the egg and tortilla as the fold cooks.

When is it ready to flip?

The egg should hold together when lifted with a wide spatula. If it still flows across the pan, let it cook a little longer before flipping.

Do I cook the broccoli first?

Not in the owner’s original method. Add finely chopped broccoli directly to the eggs in the skillet, then cook until the eggs begin to set.

Yield:
1 folded tortilla

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (about 38 g) fresh broccoli, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup (about 28 g) shredded low-moisture mozzarella
  • 1 8-inch tortilla (about 48 g) flour tortilla

Instructions

  1. Whisk and pour the eggs

    Whisk the eggs. Heat an 8- to 9-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, then pour in the eggs.

  2. Add the broccoli

    Add the finely chopped broccoli to the eggs. Cook until the eggs begin to set around the edges.

  3. Add the mozzarella

    Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the egg and broccoli.

  4. Press on the tortilla

    Place the tortilla over the egg mixture and gently press it down so it touches the cheese and egg. Let the eggs firm up enough to hold together.

  5. Flip and finish cooking

    Slide a wide spatula under the egg and tortilla and flip them together. Cook until the tortilla is golden, the mozzarella has melted, and the egg is firm throughout with no runny spots.

  6. Fold and serve

    Fold the tortilla, slice, and serve warm.
