Instructions
- Gather Ingredients
Gather ham, egg, cheese, spinach, butter, salt, and black pepper; set out a bowl, whisk, skillet, spatula, knife, and board. · 4 min
What to look for: All ingredients are measured and tools are within reach.
- Whisk Eggs
Whisk eggs with salt and black pepper in the bowl until the yolks and whites are fully blended and lightly foamy. · 2 min
What to look for: Egg mixture looks even yellow with tiny bubbles.
- Wilt Spinach
Melt butter in a warm skillet over medium heat, add spinach, and cook until the leaves soften and any surface moisture evaporates. · 3 min
What to look for: Spinach is glossy, darker green, and reduced in volume.
- Scramble Eggs
Pour eggs into the skillet and stir gently with the spatula until softly set, then fold in cheese until just melted. · 4 min
What to look for: Eggs form soft curds and the cheese looks creamy.
- Fill Ham
Lay ham slices on the board, spoon the warm egg mixture along one edge of each slice, and keep the filling compact. · 3 min
What to look for: Each ham slice has an even strip of filling near one edge.
- Roll and Warm
Roll each ham slice tightly around the filling, return rolls seam side down to the skillet, and warm until the cheese helps seal them. · 2 min
What to look for: Rolls hold their shape and the seams sit flat.
- Serve Roll Ups
Serve the rolls warm on plates while the ham is supple, the egg is tender, and the cheese is still creamy. · 1 min
What to look for: Rolls are intact and lightly glossy.
