Healthy Egg Roll
The egg is a very thankful helper in the kitchen, because it can connect the non connectable and brings the satiety to the meal, so after an omelette you can withstand until the lunch. Healthy egg roll is a great innovation to your breakfast and moreover, you can enrich it with crunchy pistachios and creamy cottage cheese or Greek yogurt.
Pistachios have the highest iron content among the nuts, and they are also rich in copper, potassium, phosphorus and calcium. As well as provitamin A and a whole range of B vitamins. Their regular consumption is beneficial for the skin, the nervous system, lowering of cholesterol and the overall growth and development of the human organism. They also help to reduce the risk of lung cancer, reduce signs of stress and anxiety, and improve the immune system. And they are incredibly tasty.
The delicious egg roll that you'll serve according to my recipe is flour-less and it combines a lot of unsubstitutable flavors. Enrich it, for example, with figs and a dose of green spinach, and you can proudly serve it to your valued visitors. Almond flour brings an interesting flavor to the roll and can be easily prepared by blending or grinding almonds.
This simple gluten-free egg roll is perfect as a light breakfast, dinner, or as an appetizer and snack for guests.
