Bacon Egg Cheese Spiral Twist

This Bacon Egg and Cheese Rice Paper Spiral turns your usual breakfast into a crispy, flavorful adventure. The combination of crispy rice paper with fluffy eggs, savory bacon, and gooey cheese makes every bite a delightful surprise. It’s a creative way to start your day that’s both fun to make and delicious to eat.

I first made these spirals on a lazy weekend morning, and my family loved how they combined familiar flavors in a new, crunchy way. Now it’s a recipe we turn to when we want something different but easy.

Ingredients

• Rice Paper Sheets: A crispy shell that transforms the texture and makes each bite uniquely fun
• Large Eggs: Whisked for fluffiness and to help bind the filling, using four for the center and one for dipping ensures everything sticks together perfectly. Use fresh eggs for best flavor and texture
• Bacon or Turkey Bacon: Adds smoky savoriness and crunch, turkey bacon is a lighter alternative without losing the meaty goodness
• Shredded Mozzarella: Creates a creamy, melty layer that balances the saltiness of bacon, fresh mozzarella works well, just shred it finely
• Everything Bagel Seasoning: A fragrant topping that delivers savory notes and some crunch, substitute Italian herbs if you want a milder, herbaceous finish

Step-by-Step Instructions

Sauté the Eggs:

In a non-stick pan over medium heat, whisk four eggs continuously until they are just set and fluffy. This should take about three to five minutes. The goal is light, tender eggs that will fill the spiral without being dry. Remove from heat and keep aside.

Prepare the Dipping Egg:

Take the remaining egg and beat it in a shallow dish. This will be the “glue” to coat the rice paper, helping it soften slightly and stick when rolled.

Dip and Arrange Rice Paper:

Quickly dip each rice paper sheet into the beaten egg until just lightly coated on both sides. Lay the sheets overlapping slightly on a lightly oiled surface to prepare for filling.

Assemble the Filling:

Spread the fluffy scrambled eggs directly down the center of each rice paper sheet. Follow by sprinkling chopped bacon evenly over the eggs and then the shredded mozzarella for that creamy texture.

Roll Into Spirals:

Carefully roll the rice paper tightly from one end to form a compact cylinder, sealing the edges as you go to prevent the filling from falling out. This step demands a gentle but firm touch so the spiral holds together.

Top and Season:

Brush any leftover beaten egg over the tops of your spirals. Sprinkle generously with the everything bagel seasoning, which will add a burst of flavor and a slight crunch once baked.

Bake to Perfection:

Place the spirals on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at four hundred degrees Fahrenheit or two hundred degrees Celsius. Bake for fifteen to twenty minutes until the spirals turn golden brown and crispy, creating that irresistible crunch.

My favorite little secret with this recipe is the everything bagel seasoning; it adds just enough savory punch and texture to make these spirals unforgettable. I remember making these for a family brunch, and the kids went absolutely wild for the crispy edges. It turned a simple breakfast into something special.

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. To reheat, pop them in the oven at a moderate temperature to keep the crispy exterior intact instead of using the microwave, which can soften the rice paper. For longer storage, freeze the spirals wrapped tightly in foil or plastic wrap. Reheat directly from frozen in the oven.

Ingredient Substitutions

Feel free to swap mozzarella for cheddar or pepper jack depending on your taste preference and what you have on hand. Use turkey bacon for a lighter option or even thinly sliced ham. If you do not have everything bagel seasoning, use a sprinkle of garlic powder, onion powder, and sesame seeds instead for a similar flavor boost.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these spirals with a side of fresh greens or roasted tomatoes for balance. A small bowl of salsa or a creamy dipping sauce like ranch or avocado aioli pairs beautifully and adds variety to the experience. They are perfect finger foods for weekend breakfasts or brunch gatherings.
