Eggs are such a versatile food item. They can be an item added as a binder, as with meatloaf or lasagna. They can also a standalone star of the show, as with this egg roll up. Eggs have gotten a bad wrap (pun intended) over the years. They are good for you. No wait, they are bad for you. I think we are back around to them being good for you. I believe that the latest consensus is that eggs are a nutrient rich, high protein food. They can be incorporated into a healthy diet when eaten in moderation. The following recipe makes a wonderful brunch. It’s quick and easy. It can be made with whatever veggies you happen to have on hand. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients and spices. You really can’t go wrong here. It’ll add a bit of pizazz to your standard egg wrap.
