Ingredients

1 Scallion Pancake from Trader Joe's (Pa Jeon) - find them in the frozen section!
9 tablespoons liquid egg whites
1 whole egg
2 tablespoons coconut aminos
Optional: fresh green onions for extra scallion flavor

For the Dipping Sauce:

1/4 cup coconut aminos
Furikake seasoning

Directions

Defrost the Scallion Pancake: Heat your scallion pancake in the microwave for 1-2 minutes until it's defrosted.
Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the liquid egg whites, whole egg, and 2 tablespoons of coconut aminos.
Cook the Eggs: Heat a small frying pan over medium heat, and coat with non-stick spray to prevent sticking. Pour in the egg mixture and cover with a lid to let the eggs partially cook.
Add the Pancake: Once the eggs are mostly cooked, place the scallion pancake on top of the eggs and cover the pan again. Let it cook for another couple of minutes.
Flip and Crisp: Once the eggs are set, flip the pancake with the eggs so that the pancake side is facing down in the pan. Cook until the pancake is crispy, golden brown, and cooked through.
Serve and Enjoy: Slice the pancake like a pizza, and serve with the dipping sauce made from coconut aminos and furikake seasoning. Garnish with green onion if you'd like. Enjoy your tasty and protein-packed breakfast!
