Ham egg and cheese roll-ups are an easy, satisfying breakfast made with deli ham, scrambled eggs, and cheddar cheese, then broiled until lightly crisp. They are simple to prepare, filling enough for busy mornings, and only 106 calories per roll-up.
If you are looking for a quick, high-protein breakfast that does not require a lot of prep, these ham egg and cheese roll-ups are a great option. Eggs are a breakfast staple for a reason: they cook quickly, pair well with simple ingredients, and can be turned into something warm and filling in just a few minutes. This recipe takes basic scrambled eggs and makes them feel a little more fun by rolling them inside slices of deli ham with a small amount of shredded cheddar cheese.
One of the best parts of this breakfast recipe is how simple it is. There is no tortilla, no complicated folding, and no long list of ingredients. The ham acts as the wrap, the eggs make the filling, and the cheese adds just enough richness without making the roll-ups too heavy. Each roll-up uses only ½ tablespoon of shredded cheddar, so you still get that cheesy flavor while keeping the calories reasonable.
These ham egg and cheese roll-ups are especially useful for busy mornings. They can be made fresh in about 10 minutes, but they also work well as a make-ahead breakfast. Prepare a batch, store the leftovers, and reheat them when you need something fast. The microwave is the quickest option, while reheating them in the oven helps keep the ham a little crispier.
This recipe is also easy to customize. If you enjoy omelet-style breakfasts, you can add a small amount of your favorite fillings before rolling everything up. Spinach, mushrooms, onions, and peppers all work well. Just be careful not to overfill the ham slices, or they may be harder to roll and keep closed while broiling.
HAM EGG AND CHEESE ROLL-UPS
106 calories per roll
To make these easy ham egg and cheese roll-ups, start by setting your oven to broil. In a bowl, whisk together 10 eggs with 2 teaspoons of garlic powder. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and coat it lightly with cooking spray. Add the eggs to the skillet and scramble them for about 3 minutes, or until they are mostly cooked.
Next, lay one slice of deli ham flat on your work surface. Add a spoonful of scrambled eggs to the center, then sprinkle ½ tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs. Roll the ham around the filling and place it seam-side down in a shallow baking dish. Repeat the process until you have 10 roll-ups.
Place the baking dish under the broiler for about 5 minutes, or until the ham is lightly crisp around the edges and the cheese has melted. Keep an eye on them while they broil, since broilers can vary and the ham can crisp quickly.
Serve the roll-ups warm and enjoy them as a simple breakfast, brunch dish, or low-calorie meal prep option. If you have leftovers, reheat them in the microwave when you are short on time, or use the oven if you want the ham to stay crispier.
For extra flavor and texture, feel free to add a small amount of your favorite omelet toppings, such as spinach, mushrooms, onions, or peppers.
