Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1/2 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup diced tomato
  • 1/4 cup diced green pepper
  • 6 large eggs beaten
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a skillet, add cabbage, tomato, and pepper; sauté 4 minutes until just softened.
  • Pour in beaten eggs, season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook, folding gently, until eggs are softly set, 3–4 minutes.
  • Stir in cilantro just before serving.

Notes

Chef's Tip: Keep the vegetables cut small and uniform so every bite has the classic rolex balance.
Keto Swap: Chapati wrap dropped entirely — vegetables replace the starch, cutting net carbs from roughly 30g to 7g.
Budget Option: This is one of the cheapest recipes in the book to make at scale — cabbage, tomato, and eggs are inexpensive nearly everywhere, making it an easy one to batch for a crowd.
