Ingredients You’ll Need for Bacon Egg & Cheese Rice Paper Spiral

5 large eggs (divided)
3 rice paper sheets
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
2 strips turkey bacon (cooked and chopped, I like to use turkey bacon!)
Everything bagel seasoning

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat: Set your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scramble: In a non-stick skillet, cook 4 of the eggs over medium-low heat until just set but still soft, then set aside.
Whisk: Crack the remaining 1 egg into a shallow bowl and whisk until smooth.
Dip: Immerse each of the 3 rice paper sheets into the beaten egg, ensuring they are coated on both sides.
Layer: Lay the coated sheets on a lightly oiled surface, overlapping them slightly to form one large sheet.
Fill: Add the scrambled eggs down the center, then top with the chopped turkey bacon and 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella.
Roll: Gently roll the filled sheets tightly into a cylinder, sealing as you go. Once rolled, gently coil it into a spiral shape.
Brush: Brush the top with any remaining egg, then sprinkle generously with everything bagel seasoning for that delightful crunch.
Bake: Place your spiral on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15–20 minutes until golden brown and crisp.

Fun Ways to Customize It

Vegetarian Option: Swap out the turkey bacon for sautéed vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms for a rich and hearty alternative.
Add Heat: For a zesty kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes or add jalapeños to the egg mixture before rolling.
Cheesy Goodness: Try using a blend of cheeses, like pepper jack or cheddar, for a richer flavor profile.
Herb It Up: Fresh herbs such as chives or parsley can elevate the flavors beautifully—just fold them in with the eggs or sprinkle them on top!
