Ingredients

• 4 8″ whole wheat tortillas
• 1 cup pizza sauce
• 8 Omega-3 eggs
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella
• 1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
• 3 tbsp milk (optional, for fluffier eggs)
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Prepare Tortillas

1. Spread Sauce: Spread 3-4 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly onto each tortilla. Set aside.

Preheat Skillet

2. Heat the Pan: Heat a 10” nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add enough olive oil to lightly coat the pan.

Prepare Egg Mixture

3. Whisk Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (if using), salt, and pepper until fully combined.

Cook Egg Layer

4. Cook Eggs: Pour ¼ of the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it out to form a thin omelet. Cook until the egg is mostly set but still slightly soft on top.

Add Toppings

5. Top with Sauce and Cheese: Spread 3-4 tablespoons of pizza sauce over the egg, then sprinkle 3-4 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella on top.

Add Tortilla

6. Layer Tortilla: Place a tortilla (sauce side down) on top of the egg. Press gently to help the tortilla adhere.

Cook and Roll

7. Swirl and Flip: Carefully swirl the tortilla in the pan to ensure the egg is fully cooked and the tortilla sticks. Slide the tortilla onto a plate or cutting board, then flip it back into the pan, tortilla side down. Cook for an additional 30 seconds.

Finish and Serve

8. Cool and Roll: Slide the egg-topped tortilla onto a plate and let it cool slightly. Roll it up with the tortilla side out. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
