Ingredients
- 1 whole scallion pancake
- 2 large eggs
- 2 strips bacon
- 2 slices yellow cheese
- 1 handful lettuce
- to taste cooking oil
Instructions
- 1Fry the bacon
Place a strip of raw bacon into a non-stick frying pan. Cook over medium heat until the bacon is slightly charred to enhance the flavor.
Tip: Charring the bacon slightly gives the dish a more robust and savory taste. - 2Add the eggs
Pour two beaten eggs over the bacon in the pan, spreading the liquid evenly across the surface.
Tip: Ensure the pan is evenly coated so the egg forms a consistent layer for the pancake base. - 3Place the scallion pancake
Carefully place a round, raw scallion pancake on top of the egg and bacon mixture while the egg is still cooking.
Tip: Position the pancake gently to ensure it adheres to the egg base as it sets. - 4Flip the pancake
Once the egg has set, use a spatula to flip the entire pancake over. You can repeat this flip a few times to ensure even cooking.
Tip: Flipping ensures the pancake and egg mixture reach a perfect, golden-brown finish. - 5Add cheese
Place two square slices of yellow cheese onto the hot, cooked side of the pancake. The heat will allow the cheese to melt slightly.
Tip: Using a melting cheese variety enhances the texture and savory profile of the breakfast wrap. - 6Add fresh lettuce
Add a handful of fresh, chopped green lettuce on top of the cheese and bacon layer to provide a crisp, refreshing texture.
Tip: Fresh lettuce adds a healthy crunch that balances the savory richness of the bacon and cheese. - 7Fold the pancake

Tip: Folding the pancake while it is still in the hot pan ensures the cheese melts perfectly and helps bind the layers together.
