Beat eggs with milk, salt, and pepper.

✨ Tips & Variations:
-
Add ground meat (beef, chicken, or pork) to the filling for a heartier version.
-
Make it low-carb/keto by skipping rice and keeping the veggies only.
-
Use napa cabbage or spinach instead of regular cabbage for a milder flavor.
-
These rolls are great for meal prep—store in the fridge and reheat in a skillet or microwave.
If you want, I can also give a “baked version” where all the omelette rolls are layered in a casserole dish with a light sauce and baked—so you get a golden, cheesy, all-in-one dish.
