A Little Backstory: How These Wraps Became a Morning Favorite

This recipe started out as a “clean-out-the-fridge” creation. One morning, I had eggs, a lonely tortilla, and some shredded cheese on hand. I tossed everything together in a skillet, rolled it up, and that first bite had me hooked. It was gooey, hearty, and surprisingly filling. Since then, Cheesy Egg Wraps have become a staple in our kitchen—adaptable, quick, and utterly delicious.

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need for 2 large wraps:

🔹 Main Ingredients:

• 4 large eggs (or 1 cup egg whites for lower fat)

• 2 tablespoons milk (optional, for fluffier eggs)

• ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, pepper jack, or a blend)

• 2 large flour tortillas (or low-carb/wheat tortillas)

• Salt and black pepper to taste

🔹 Optional Add-Ins:

• ¼ cup sautéed vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms)

• 2 tablespoons cooked turkey bacon or chicken sausage

• 2 tablespoons salsa or hot sauce

• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (chives, cilantro, or parsley)

Step-by-Step Instructions

✅ Step 1: Beat and Season the Eggs

Crack the eggs into a bowl and add milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk well until fully combined and slightly frothy. The milk helps the eggs become soft and fluffy.

✅ Step 2: Cook the Eggs

In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, spray a little oil or melt some butter. Pour in the eggs and cook gently, stirring slowly with a spatula. Once they’re almost fully cooked but still slightly glossy, turn off the heat.

🔄 Optional: Stir in your sautéed veggies or cooked protein at this point.

✅ Step 3: Add Cheese

Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the eggs while they’re still hot, letting it melt right into the mixture. Stir once or twice to combine.

✅ Step 4: Assemble the Wraps

Lay your tortillas flat. Divide the cheesy egg mixture between them. Add any extra toppings (salsa, herbs, hot sauce), then roll up tightly like a burrito.

✅ Step 5: Toast (Optional but Recommended)

For extra flavor and texture, place the wraps back into the skillet seam-side down for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and crisp.

How to Make It Low-Carb or Keto-Friendly

• Use egg whites or fewer yolks for reduced fat.

• Swap the tortilla with a low-carb wrap or large lettuce leaves.

• Skip the milk and opt for a full-fat cheese like sharp cheddar or Swiss.

Storage & Meal Prep Tips

• Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

• Freezer: Wrap tightly in foil or plastic wrap, then place in a zip bag. Reheat in the microwave or skillet.

• Reheat: For best results, warm in a covered skillet over low heat.

Serving Ideas

• Pair with avocado slices or guacamole for healthy fats.

• Add a small bowl of fruit or berries for a balanced breakfast.

• Serve with a side of Greek yogurt for even more protein.
