Preparation

Heat a non-stick skillet on medium heat. Beat eggs with some salt and pepper and pour into skillet. Cook eggs 2–3 minutes on each side to make an omelette. Transfer onto a plate and let cool. Cut omelette into 8 large strips.

Fill a large bowl with hot water and soak a rice paper wrapper approximately 15 seconds to soften. Transfer to a work surface. In the following order, place 2 mint leaves, a strip of omelette, 1/8 of the vegetables, a sprig of cilantro and a stick of cheese on the first third of the wrapper, leaving a 1˝ (2.5 cm) border on each side.

Fold in the sides of the wrapper over the filling and then roll into a tight cylinder.

Repeat steps for the remaining 7 wrappers.

Serve with a small bowl of homemade or store-bought nuoc cham for dipping.
