I used to admire the delicate taste of the egg rolls sold by my neighbour at a coffee shop near our estate. Unfortunately, things took an unexpected turn when they had to fold their business due to a hefty rent imposed by the owner. I ended up with months of craving until one day I decided to create my own recipe. Although the taste is far from that of my neighbour's, I am still proud that this recipe of mine has become a signature dish and is a must in our family function.

Ingredients

6 eggs
1 carrot grated
lettuce shredded
2 tbsps cream cheese whisk lightly so that it would not curdle. Alternatively, you may wish to use Cheddar cheese but you may have to tear it into small bits.
1 tbsp butter
Pepper to taste

Mix the vegetables together, adding a dash of pepper to taste.
Beat the eggs. Heat the butter in the frying pan and fry the eggs like you fry an omelette. Spread the eggs evenly so that it covers the whole pan. When the eggs are quarterly done, pour the cream cheese over (or the cheddar cheese). Then spread the vegetables evenly on the eggs. Leave it for another 3 minutes before switching the stove off. Transfer the omelette onto a work surface and role it nicely. Secure the ends with more cream cheese if it does not stick together. Finally cut the egg roll evenly into bite size proportion and serve warm.
