Ingredients
2 large eggs
1 tbsp milk (optional, for fluffier eggs)
Salt & pepper, to taste
1 tbsp olive oil or butter
1 flatbread or tortilla
1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or feta)
Fresh greens (spinach, arugula, or lettuce)
Optional add-ins: sliced avocado, tomatoes, or fresh herbs
Instructions
Prepare the eggs
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (if using), salt, and pepper until well combined.
Cook the eggs
Heat olive oil or butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and gently stir with a spatula, cooking until just set but still soft and slightly creamy.
Warm the flatbread
While the eggs are cooking, lightly warm the flatbread or tortilla in a dry skillet or microwave for 20–30 seconds.
Assemble the wrap
Place the flatbread on a plate. Add the cooked eggs in the center, then sprinkle with shredded cheese while the eggs are still warm so it melts slightly. Layer fresh greens on top, and add any optional ingredients like avocado, tomatoes, or herbs.
Fold and serve
Fold the flatbread over the filling to form a wrap. Serve immediately while warm.
Tips:
Fluffier eggs: Add a splash of milk or water to the eggs before whisking.
Even cooking: Cook eggs over medium-low heat and stir gently for soft, tender curds.
Flatbread choice: Use whole wheat, multigrain, or gluten-free flatbread or tortilla depending on your preference.
Make it ahead: You can cook the eggs in advance and store them in the fridge for a quick breakfast or lunch. Reheat gently before assembling.
Prevent sogginess: Layer greens on top of the eggs rather than underneath to keep the wrap from getting soggy.
Variations:
Cheese swaps: Try feta, goat cheese, or a Mediterranean blend for a richer flavor.
Veggie add-ins: Sautéed bell peppers, mushrooms, or onions make it heartier.
Protein boost: Add cooked chicken, turkey slices, or smoked salmon for extra protein.
Mediterranean twist: Add a spoonful of hummus or tzatziki for authentic Mediterranean flavor.
Herb upgrades: Fresh parsley, dill, or basil can brighten the wrap and add extra aroma.
Q&A
Q: Can I make this wrap ahead of time?
A: You can cook the eggs ahead and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before assembling the wrap. Assemble just before eating to keep the flatbread from becoming soggy.
Q: Can I use egg whites only?
A: Yes, you can use egg whites or a combination of whole eggs and egg whites. The texture will be slightly lighter but still delicious.
Q: Can I freeze this wrap?
A: Freezing fully assembled wraps isn’t recommended as the flatbread may become soggy. You can freeze cooked eggs separately and assemble fresh wraps when needed.
Q: Can I make it vegan?
A: Yes. Substitute eggs with scrambled tofu or a chickpea flour “egg” mixture and use dairy-free cheese.
Q: What other flatbreads can I use?
A: Pita, lavash, whole wheat tortillas, or even a low-carb wrap work well.
