Egg Roll-Up with Spinach and Ham as posted in 2011...
Happy Monday!
I know, don't you hate when people say that? I do, depending on my mood, but when I sit down to blog, it comes out of me naturally. I guess it's my way of starting.
Anyhoo, Jenny emailed asking for an old Egg Roll-up idea I posted back in 2011. Well, much like the Pancakes, it brought me down memory lane. I found two videos of me making roll-ups, and I'm pregnant in one!
Here I am March 16, 2011, making the Spinach Egg- Roll-Up.
I still had a few weeks to go before my due date, but little did I know my water would break that night! Little Bean was born the next day.
And here I am September that same year making a Spinach and Turkey Bacon Roll-up.
Boy, how I miss recording these and wearing all my cheesy green shirts. Unfortunately, every attempt I've made to get back to them have fallen flat. I'm in such a different place now. One day, maybe. In the meantime, I'll keep posting when I can.
Here's the original recipe I posted back then. This one is fun, and you can put anything topping you want in them. I'm not a big cheese fan on eggs, but it would make a great addition as well.

Hello.. what kind of bread or what is it called please. I would love to do this but I would like to know what to look for in the grocery store.

I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean. I don't use any bread.
Kim
It looked like Ezekiel 4:9 bread. I think it's usually found in the refrigerated section.

No bread is used, what you are seeing in the photo is just the egg - it has browned in the pan. 🙂

I used your recipe as a guide and have made this several times (most mornings since I saw it). I make it with 1/2 C egg substitute and added 1 T of 2% shredded cheese. It's super yum, and I like to serve it with some sauteed mushrooms on top! Thanks for the great idea!!!

Looks yum! I don't have much ham these days but I want some!
I also recommend my boyfriends 'signature' scrambled eggs. An inch of two of spring/green onion chopped fine, some chopped herbs if you like them, splash of milk, small bit of grated/chopped cheese and a pinch of curry powder (or even cinnamon) in a couple eggs. The spring onion and curry powder really makes it interesting, and it's very quick, especially in the microwave.

What an awesome idea! I make my son eggs for breakfast almost every morning and sometimes he gets really tired of scrambled - this is perfect! Thanks for sharing and best wishes for a beautiful birth! 🙂

Roni this looks awesome, and you are ADORABLE!!!!
Like you, I would typically just cut mold off of food and eat the rest, but I saw a news piece that said there can be "roots" that extend beyond where you can see mold, and there can be spores you can't see. It isn't necessarily dangerous for all foods, but for soft porous food, the entire food can be contaiminated...
Here is a link to the Food Safety Inspection Service that has a helpful chart about which foods with mold can be trimmed and which (they say) should be discarded:

Obviously everyone should make their own choice, but I thought you might find this interesting 🙂
Thanks so much for all of the wonderful blogs!

Perfect timing...I am so over hard boiled eggs! Getting ham tonight to try this! THANK YOU!
Bonnie
Sounds Great Roni! I too am in a breakfast slump and decided to make this today. I used turkey bacon crumbles and egg whites to make my omelet roll up. The additions can be endless! Thanks for the idea!
By the way you look great! I hope everything goes smoothly with the birth of your new little bundle of joy!
Lori
I'm at work so I'm unable to view the video, but just by looking at the picture I'm CRAVING that right now! (and I'm not even pregnant!) 🙂

That looks great! Now I am wishing I had ham on hand...I am pregnant too, and I've been craving eggs like crazy! 😛

OMG the whole time watching this I was thinking "Gosh, I really really REALLY need a hug from a pregnant woman. That would feel soooo goooood!!!!"

I'm totally in an egg slump, too and after watching this, I'm putting a new pan on my list so I can make a fun rolled omelet! I used to use a nonstick crepe pan, but it finally wore out after 10 years and the only other egg-worthy pan I have is too small. Thanks for the idea...I never thought of putting a whole slice of ham in there...I always chop it up, but the whole slice looks so pretty.

Oh! Bless you! How could you have possibly known that I was crossing to the DARK SIDE and going low carb? This is PERFECT! And you look so darned cute! I love the shirt.
