Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 scallion pancake
- 1–2 eggs
- 1 handful of spinach
- Half an avocado
For Cooking
- A spritz of avocado oil or a small pat of butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Chili crisp, to taste
Instructions
- Fry the Scallion Pancake: Heat a spritz of avocado oil or a small pat of butter in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Place the scallion pancake in the pan and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the pancake from the pan and set aside.
- Wilt the Spinach: In the same pan, add the handful of spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Push the spinach toward the center of the pan to prepare for the pancake to absorb the spinach flavor.
- Cook the Eggs: Crack the eggs into the pan with the spinach and fry until the whites start to set, about 1-2 minutes. Using a spatula, break the yolks gently and spread them slightly for even cooking. Before the eggs are fully cooked, press the scallion pancake back onto the eggs so it sticks as they finish cooking together.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the pan from heat. Fill the pancake with toppings of your choice including sliced avocado, chili crisp, and optionally cheese or sauces. Roll the pancake up, slice in half, and serve immediately for a warm, flavorful meal.
Notes
- Use a nonstick pan for best results to prevent sticking during frying.
- Adjust the number of eggs based on your preference and appetite.
- Chili crisp adds a spicy and savory flavor; adjust the amount to your liking or omit if sensitive to spice.
- Feel free to add cheese or other preferred toppings for extra richness.
- This dish is quick and perfect for a nutritious breakfast or a light lunch.
