Method
Wash the tomato4 and slice it into 0.5 cm (1/4-inch) rounds; wash the lettuce and tear it into large pieces. Grate the cheese on a box grater. Whisk the egg with a pinch of salt until smooth.
Heat a 20–24 cm (8–9.5-inch) skillet over medium heat for 1–2 minutes, then lightly oil it.
Pour in the egg, spreading it evenly, and cook for 1–2 minutes per side until golden. Remove the omelet from the pan.
Place the omelet on the lavash, sprinkle with grated cheese, then top with tomato4 slices and lettuce.
Tightly roll the lavash into a log, tucking in the edges to keep the filling inside.
Return the roll to a dry, hot skillet and sear for 1 minute per side over medium heat until the cheese melts and the lavash browns.
Slice the roll diagonally in half and serve immediately.
Tips
- Why it works
- Fry the omelet on medium heat to avoid burning the eggs before the cheese melts; high heat makes the outside crispy while the inside stays raw.
- Substitutions
- Use feta instead of hard cheese (25g) for a tangier taste, or swap lettuce for spinach (20g) if you prefer a stronger flavor.
- Common mistakes
- If the lavash cracks while rolling, the filling will spill out. Press the edges firmly before frying to seal it.
- Storing and reheating
- Eat fresh; the lavash softens and the omelet dries out within 2 hours. Freeze the roll before frying for up to 1 month; reheat in a dry pan.
- Serve with
- Pair with a cup of black coffee or green tea for a quick, savory breakfast on busy mornings.
