Rice Paper Egg Cheese Wrap (Printable)

A crispy, savory wrap using rice paper, eggs, and melted cheese for a quick, crunchy bite.

# What you need:

→ Main

01 - 2 sheets rice paper (8.7 inch diameter)
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or blend)

→ Optional Add-ins

04 - 2 tablespoons chopped scallions
05 - ½ small bell pepper, finely diced

# Directions:

01 - Organize all ingredients nearby to ensure a smooth cooking process.
02 - Warm ½ tablespoon oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
03 - Place a rice paper sheet in the skillet and lightly brush or spray with water to soften, about 20 to 30 seconds.
04 - Crack one egg directly onto the rice paper and gently spread it evenly with a spatula.
05 - Sprinkle half the shredded cheese and desired optional add-ins over the egg; season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes if using.

07 - Fold in the edges or roll the rice paper into a wrap, pressing gently to seal.
08 - Flip the wrap and cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes until golden and crisp.
09 - Repeat steps for the second sheet with remaining ingredients.

# Expert tips:

01 -
  • It's ready in 15 minutes flat—faster than waiting for toast to pop up.
  • The rice paper gets impossibly crispy without any deep frying, so it feels indulgent but isn't.
  • You can stuff it with whatever you have lying around and it never disappoints.
  • It's naturally gluten-free, making it perfect for anyone with dietary restrictions.
02 -
  • Rice paper is fragile—don't oversoak it or it'll disintegrate, but don't undersoak it or you won't be able to fold it without it shattering.
  • Medium heat is your friend here; too hot and the outside burns before the egg cooks through, too low and you get a rubbery result instead of a crispy one.
  • The wrap will seem too delicate to flip at first, but once the egg has set and the cheese has melted together, it becomes surprisingly sturdy—trust it.
03 -
  • Don't skip the water spray or brush step—it's what makes the rice paper pliable enough to fold without snapping.
  • If your first wrap tears, don't panic; just patch it with a small piece of rice paper or keep cooking anyway—a few small cracks actually help it get crispier.
  • Use a nonstick skillet without question; regular pans will stick and frustrate you into giving up on this beautiful dish.
