Rice Paper Egg Cheese Fold (Printable)

Golden rice paper pouch filled with egg, scallions, and melted cheese; crisp and savory for light bites.

# What You'll Need:

→ Main

01 - 2 large rice paper wrappers
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1/3 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or choice)
04 - 2 scallions, finely sliced
05 - 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

→ Seasoning

06 - Pinch of salt
07 - Pinch of black pepper
08 - Optional: chili flakes or sriracha, to taste

# How-To Steps:

01 - Prepare a shallow dish of warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper for 10 to 15 seconds until pliable. Lay on a clean, damp kitchen towel or board.
02 - In a small bowl, beat one egg with a pinch of salt and black pepper until combined.
03 - Warm 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
04 - Pour the beaten egg into the center of the softened rice paper. Evenly sprinkle half the scallions and half the shredded cheese over the egg.
05 - Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling to create a square or rectangular pouch.
06 - Gently transfer the pouch seam-side down to the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until golden and crisp, then carefully flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
07 - Repeat the softening, beating, assembling, folding, and cooking process with the second rice paper, remaining egg, scallions, and cheese.
08 - Serve immediately while hot, optionally drizzled with sriracha or sprinkled with chili flakes to taste.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The rice paper gets shatteringly crispy while the egg stays silky inside—two textures that shouldn't work together but absolutely do.
  • Ready in under 15 minutes, which makes it perfect for those mornings when you want something more interesting than toast.
  • Cheap ingredients that probably already live in your kitchen, so you can make this on a whim.
02 -
  • The rice paper has to be just barely softened—oversoaking it will make your pouch fall apart the second it touches the hot pan, which is a sad surprise.
  • Cook seam-side down first so the folds fuse together and create a sealed pocket. This is what keeps all the egg from leaking out as you flip.
03 -
  • Room temperature eggs cook faster and more evenly than cold ones, so pull them out of the fridge a few minutes early.
  • The seam-side-down approach seals your pouch completely, which means no leaking egg and a structurally sound snack.
