Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 slices mortadella
  • 2 slices swiss cheese
  • 1 egg white wrap or low carb wrap of choice
  • 1 tablespoon parmigiano reggiano grated
  • 1 piece romaine lettuce

Instructions

  • Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Fold the mortadella into two piles and gently place them in the pan (no oil required). Cook until crispy and flip.

  • Add a slice of Swiss cheese on each bundle of mortadella, place a lid on the pan, and cook until the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes. Transfer the cheesy mortadella bundles to a plate.

  • Add 1/2 tablespoon grated parmigiano reggiano into the empty hot pan. Scatter the grated cheese in a circular shape on the pan. Place an egg white wrap on top of the cheese and let the cheese get hot and crispy, about 1 minute.

  • Lift the egg white wrap with a spatula and quickly sprinkle the remaining 1/2 tablespoon grated cheese on the empty, hot pan. Place the egg white wrap back on the pan, with the crispy cheese side facing up. Allow the other side of the wrap to get hot and crispy.

Notes

  • Egg White Wraps: Use any wrap you like, or make your own low-carb version with blended cottage cheese and eggs.
  • No Oil Needed: You don’t need oil as long as you’re using a good non-stick or ceramic pan. The mortadella will render some fat once heated. 
  • Other Sliced Meats: Prosciutto, coppa, salami, turkey, or ham all work beautifully here.
  • Vegetarian, Gluten-Free, or Dairy-Free: Swap the mortadella and cheeses for your favorite plant-based sliced “meat” and dairy-free cheese.
