Why You’ll Love This Tapioca Eggs and Cheese
- Quick and easy – Ready in under 15 minutes
- Flavourful – Savoury scrambled eggs, gooey cheese, and crispy edges
- Low-carb – Using tapioca flour gives a unique texture without the need for bread
Ingredients (Serves 1)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 slices of ham, chopped
- 15g (1 tbsp) mozzarella or cheddar cheese, grated
- 4 tbsp tapioca flour
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Method
Step 1: Prepare the Eggs
- Whisk the two eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
Step 2: Heat the Pan
- Place a frying pan on the stove over medium-low heat and allow it to warm up.
Step 3: Scramble the Eggs
- Pour the beaten eggs into the pan and cook gently, stirring occasionally. As the eggs begin to set, sprinkle the chopped ham and grated cheese evenly over the eggs.
Step 4: Add the Tapioca
- Sprinkle the tapioca flour evenly over the top of the eggs. Let it sit for a moment to allow the tapioca to absorb the egg mixture.
Step 5: Flip and Cook
- Once the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly soft, flip the mixture over carefully and cook the other side until it becomes crispy and golden.
Step 6: Fold and Serve
- Once the bottom is crispy, fold the omelette in half and serve immediately.
Serving Suggestions
- This dish is fantastic on its own but can be paired with a side of fresh salad, avocado, or even a dollop of hot sauce for extra flavour.
Tips for Success
- Low and slow cooking – Be patient with the eggs and cook them over a low heat for a creamy texture.
- Use non-stick pan – A non-stick frying pan will help prevent the eggs from sticking and make flipping easier.
- Cheese variations – Feel free to swap mozzarella for cheddar, feta, or even a vegan cheese alternative if preferred.
