Cookware
aluminum foil · chef's knife · cutting board · grater · measuring spoons · mixing bowls · nonstick skillet · spatula · tongs · whisk or fork
Directions
- Cook the bacon in a nonstick skillet over medium‑high heat until crisp, then transfer to a paper towel–lined plate and reserve the fat in a small bowl.
- Grate the cheddar and set aside.
- Chop the chives into small pieces and keep them handy.
- In a small bowl, beat the eggs with salt and pepper until blended.
- Return the skillet to medium heat and leave about 1/2 teaspoon of the bacon fat in the pan.
- Chop the cooked bacon into rough pieces and set aside.
- Pour half of the eggs into the skillet and swirl to form a thin omelet the size of a tortilla; cook about 30 seconds without stirring, then lay a tortilla on top and press gently.
- When the egg is mostly set, sprinkle with half the cheese, chives, and bacon; cook 30–60 seconds more, then roll the tortilla tightly and wrap in foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining eggs, tortilla, cheese, chives, and bacon.
- Slice each roll in half and arrange on plates for serving.
Two tips
- Prep the cheese and chives ahead of time to speed assembly.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated wrapped in foil; reheat in a nonstick skillet for 1–2 minutes per side before serving.
