Ingredients
-
1 tbsp butter (or cooking oil)
-
4 large eggs
-
¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
-
¼ cup salsa (thick style works best)
-
5 slices deli ham (not too thin)
-
Salt & black pepper, to taste
-
Optional: chopped chives or parsley for topping
Instructions
-
Preheat Oven
Heat oven to 450°F / 230°C. Lightly grease a small baking dish. -
Scramble the Eggs
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Crack in eggs, season lightly with salt and pepper, and gently scramble until just set and fluffy. Remove from heat. -
Add Cheese to Eggs
Stir in ¼ cup of the shredded cheese while eggs are hot so it melts in. -
Assemble Roll-Ups
Lay ham slices flat. Spoon a portion of cheesy eggs onto each slice. Add about 1 teaspoon salsa on top. Roll up snugly. -
Bake
Place roll-ups seam-side down in the dish. Sprinkle remaining ½ cup cheese over the top. Bake 3–5 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. -
Serve
Rest 1–2 minutes, then serve warm with extra salsa if desired.
Notes
-
Don’t overcook the eggs — slightly soft eggs stay tender after baking.
-
Use thicker ham slices so they roll without tearing.
-
Keep salsa thick — watery salsa can make roll-ups loose.
-
Want browning? Broil the top for 30–45 seconds at the end (have an adult handle this if you’re younger).
-
Meal prep friendly: Refrigerate up to 2 days or freeze after baking and cooling.
