PRESENTATION

Omelette rolls, or involtini di frittata—which sounds fancy—are such a delightful twist on breakfast or brunch. These tasty bites from Central Italy bring color and fun to your table. Imagine a soft, tender omelet wrapped around fillings like speck, mozzarella, or smoked cheese with arugula. Seriously good. Italians love mixing in whatever fresh ingredients they have on hand. The result? A swirl of colors and flavors that really pop.

And look, whether you cook them in a pan or bake them for a lighter option, these omelette rolls come out golden and a little crispy on the outside—making them super inviting. For sure. The rolled omelette recipe isn’t just for the main course; it’s also great as a snack or starter. Pair it with other egg-based treats like bruschetta or mini frittatas—so many possibilities.

Here's the thing, when you’re in a hurry or want something quick yet special, egg roll-ups are a fantastic choice. It’s amazing how this dish fits all kinds of diets. Really, it's perfect for those seeking healthy omelette ideas or keto-friendly options because it’s low-carb and full of flavor. Fillings make a big difference: raw ham adds a salty kick, mozzarella melts into a moist and gooey layer, and provola gives that touch of smokiness.

Whatever you choose, you end up with a dish that’s both creamy and savory. Central Italy has a knack for turning simple ingredients like eggs, ham, and cheese into something festive yet easy. Friends and family love seeing these on the table—no question. They look fancy but are pretty simple to make. Plus, with so many ways to fill and serve them, you can’t get bored with this classic. One bite gives you a mix of soft, cheesy filling and that satisfying, slightly crispy omelet exterior. Really captures the creativity of Italian home cooking.

How to prepare Omelette Rolls

To prepare the omelet rolls, first crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt 1, pepper, and flavor with some fresh thyme leaves 2. Beat the eggs with a whisk 3.

Once the mixture is combined 4, heat a small amount of oil in a 9.5-inch diameter pan, add the eggs 5.

Cover with a lid 7 and cook over moderate heat for about 5 minutes or until the omelet is set enough to flip 8. At this point, place a flat plate the same circumference as the pan on top of the omelet 9.

Flip the pan and slide the omelet back into the pan 10 to cook the other side for a few more minutes 11. Transfer the omelet to a cutting board and let it cool slightly 12.

Drain and chop the mozzarella 13. Place the slices of speck 14 and the chopped mozzarella 15 evenly over the omelet.

Roll up the omelet 16. Cut your roll into slices to obtain eight rolls 17 and secure each with a toothpick 18.

In the same pan where you cooked the omelet, brown the rolls on both sides 19 until a golden crust forms 20. Remove the toothpicks from the rolls and serve them hot and cheesy 21.
