Rice Paper Egg Cheese Fold (Print Version)

Golden crispy rice paper pouch filled with eggs, scallions, and melted cheese for a savory snack or light meal.

# What You'll Need:

→ Main

01 - 2 large rice paper wrappers
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1/3 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or preferred variety)
04 - 2 scallions, finely sliced
05 - 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

→ Seasoning

06 - Pinch of salt
07 - Pinch of black pepper
08 - Optional: chili flakes or sriracha, to taste

# How to Prepare:

01 - Prepare a shallow dish with warm water. Briefly soak one rice paper wrapper for 10 to 15 seconds until pliable, then place it on a clean damp towel or board.
02 - Beat one egg in a small bowl, seasoning with salt and pepper.
03 - Warm half a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
04 - Pour the beaten egg onto the center of the softened rice paper. Evenly sprinkle half of the scallions and cheese over the egg.
05 - Fold the edges of the rice paper over the filling to form a neat pouch in a square or rectangular shape.
06 - Place the pouch seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until golden and crisp. Flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
07 - Repeat the softening, egg mixing, filling, folding, and cooking steps with the remaining ingredients.
08 - Serve the cooked pouches hot, optionally garnished with sriracha or chili flakes to taste.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The rice paper crisps up like a savory chip while the cheese and egg stay creamy inside—total textural magic.
  • Comes together in under 15 minutes, which means you can actually eat a hot, made-from-scratch breakfast on a busy day.
  • Feels fancy enough to serve to guests but casual enough to make for yourself at 7 a.m. in your pajamas.
02 -
  • Do not skip the damp towel step—it keeps the softened rice paper from sticking to itself or drying out while you're assembling, and makes folding infinitely easier.
  • Keep your oil temperature steady; too cool and the wrapper turns chewy instead of crisp, too hot and it browns before the egg cooks through.
03 -
  • A damp kitchen towel is your secret weapon—it keeps the softened rice paper pliable without letting it tear, and prevents it from sticking to itself.
  • Don't skimp on the seasoning inside the egg itself; it makes the difference between a flat, forgettable breakfast and something you'll crave for days.
