I saw this really easy idea for breakfast (well they called it a snack) in a Cookist video on Facebook. As usual. it looked so easy, I didn’t even look at it a second time when I went to do it. Hmmmmm . . . can you see where this is going already? Yeah, I should have watched it before I did it because it had some key things in there that I am going to say make a big difference. But, if I ever try this again, I know to cook it longer. When I made this for my hubby I needed to put in a pan and cook it more because apparently he does not like his eggs yokes that runny. I don’t eat any type of egg except scrambled so I don’t usually cook his eggs. Anyway, if you try this follow the way they do it in the video.
The only way to see the video is through FB.

Panini Pressed Eggs and Cheese Tortilla Wrap
two flour tortillas – burrito sized
1 Cup of shredded cheese
two eggs
salt pepper
2 slices of lunch meat
optional things:
salsa, avocado, sour cream, hot sauce, more cheese, onions
Place the tortillas on the cold grill so they cover the whole grill with one side of one tortilla over lapping the other, put the cheese across the tortillas. Crack each egg into its own separate pinch bowl. Then carefully slide each egg on top of the cheese. Sprinkle egg with salt and pepper. Places the lunch meat on top of the eggs, sprinkle more cheese. Fold the edges of the tortillas to form a wrap. Close the press. Then turn it on to cook. My press has a medium setting so I used that. Cook the wrap until the tortilla is golden brown, making sure to cook it as long as you would like your egg to cook.
You can serve it with any optional topping you would like.

The first mistake I made was I was using smaller tortillas. The second mistake I made was I cracked the eggs directly onto the tortillas/cheese. Sliding them from their own bowl allows you to place them more precisely so they don’t start to run off the tortilla. Another mistake (I have to stop counting because I made so many) was I turned the grill on while I was doing the assembling so the tortillas were cooking the whole time and I was concerned about browning it too much and did not let it cook enough. Also, with the grill on it made the tortilla too hot to handle and fold correctly. But if you do not do ANY of the THINGS I just mentioned as mistakes, you can do it. I thought this was really cool. And my husband enjoyed it once I cooked the eggs a tad bit more.
