Ingredients
Servings
4
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced lengthwise
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- pinch of red pepper flakes for mild heat
Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, almond milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
-
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with oil or cooking spray.
-
Pour approximately 1/4 cup of the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting to form a thin crepe. Cook for 1-2 minutes until edges lift easily, then flip and cook an additional 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Repeat to make 4 egg crepes.
-
Add olive oil to the same skillet. Sauté zucchini slices over medium heat until tender and lightly golden, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and let cool slightly.
-
In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese with dill, parsley, lemon zest, garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using), mixing until smooth.
-
Spread about 2 tablespoons of the herb cream cheese evenly over each egg crepe.
-
Layer 2-3 sautéed zucchini slices on one edge of each crepe and roll tightly.
-
Cut each roll-up diagonally in half and serve immediately or chill for later.
-
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I meal prep Egg and Zucchini Roll-Ups with Herb Cream Cheese?
- Yes. Portion it into airtight containers and keep toppings, sauces, or crunchy finishes separate when that will protect the texture.
- How can I increase the protein?
- Add a little more egg or pair the recipe with a compatible high-protein side such as Greek yogurt, eggs, tofu, beans, or lean meat depending on the recipe style.
- Can I make it lighter?
- Use measured oil, lighter dairy or sauce options, and a larger vegetable portion while keeping the main protein amount steady.
- What should I watch when swapping ingredients?
- Keep moisture, salt, and cooking time in mind because high-protein swaps can dry out or firm up faster than the original ingredient.
Storage
Cool Egg and Zucchini Roll-Ups with Herb Cream Cheese before storing, refrigerate in airtight containers for up to 4 days, keep crisp toppings or fresh garnishes separate when useful, freeze only if the main ingredients tolerate thawing well, and reheat gently with a splash of liquid or a short oven, skillet, microwave, or air-fryer warm-up that matches the recipe texture.
