Ingredients You’ll Need

• Joseph’s Bakery Lavash or Tortilla: Creates the perfect vessel for all the delicious fillings. Choose a low-carb option if you’re watching your carbs.
• Sun-dried Tomatoes in Oil: These little flavor bombs add incredible richness and depth – the oil from the jar pulls double duty for sautéing.
• Spinach: Packs a nutritional punch while adding beautiful color and a mild earthy flavor that pairs perfectly with the eggs.
• Liquid Egg Whites: The protein foundation of this wrap. They cook up fluffy and light while keeping the calories in check.
• Spices: Garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper create a Mediterranean flavor profile that makes this wrap sing.
• Laughing Cow Swiss Cheese Triangle: Acts as both a flavor enhancer and a “glue” that helps hold your wrap together when spread on the lavash.
• Feta Cheese: Brings a tangy, salty punch that elevates all the other flavors. It’s the perfect finishing touch!

Variations

Want to make this wrap your own? Try these delicious twists:

• Meat Lover’s Version: Add cooked crumbled breakfast sausage, crispy bacon bits, or diced ham for extra protein and flavor.
• Veggie Boost: Incorporate diced bell peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini along with the spinach.
• Spicy Kick: Add a few dashes of hot sauce, red pepper flakes, or chopped jalapeños to the egg mixture.
• Cheese Swap: Try goat cheese, mozzarella, or sharp cheddar instead of feta for a different flavor profile.

How to Make High-Protein Spinach and Feta Wraps

Step 1: Sauté the Vegetables

Spray a large frying pan with cooking spray and set to medium heat. Add the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes. Once warm, add the baby spinach and sauté until wilted. Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2: Cook the Egg Whites

Pour the egg whites over the spinach mixture. Stir to combine, then let it sit to cook through, lifting the edges occasionally to allow any liquid to cook (this is when you could add cooked crumbled sausage if desired). Top with the feta cheese, cover, and let cook while you prepare your wrap.

Step 3: Prepare the Wrap

If your lavash is too stiff, microwave it for 5-10 seconds to make it more pliable. If it’s already soft, skip the microwave. Spread the Laughing Cow cheese along the lavash.

Step 4: Assemble and Seal

Remove the lid from your egg mixture. Place the cooked eggs on top of the lavash and begin folding like a burrito, tucking in the sides as you roll to seal completely.

Step 5: Sear and Serve

Spray the wrapped burrito with cooking spray on both sides, then place back in the hot skillet and sear to brown all sides. Once browned, cut in half and enjoy your homemade wrap!

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

• Don’t Overfill: Too much filling makes wrapping difficult and can lead to tears in your lavash or tortilla.
• Watch Your Heat: Keep your pan at medium heat – too hot and your eggs will brown too quickly without cooking through.
• Microwave Wisely: Be very careful when microwaving your lavash – just 5-10 seconds is enough to make it pliable without drying it out.
• Even Distribution: Spread your fillings evenly across the wrap, leaving a border around the edges for easier rolling.
• Seal the Deal: For the perfect wrap that doesn’t fall apart, fold in the sides first, then roll tightly from the bottom up, tucking as you go.

How to Serve

This wrap is a meal in itself, but here are some perfect pairings to complete your breakfast or lunch:

Morning Pairings

Serve with fresh fruit and a cup of coffee or tea for a balanced breakfast that would make Starbucks jealous.

Lunch Companions

Pair with a small green salad or cup of soup for a satisfying midday meal.

On-the-Go

Wrap in parchment paper or foil for a portable meal that travels well (though it’s best enjoyed fresh off the skillet).

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

While best enjoyed fresh, you can store fully assembled (but not seared) wraps in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap to prevent drying out.

Freezing

The egg mixture can be cooked, cooled, and frozen for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then assemble fresh wraps.

Reheating

To reheat a pre-made wrap, warm in a skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes per side until heated through. Microwaving is not recommended as it will make the wrap soggy.

FAQs

Can I use whole eggs instead of egg whites?
Absolutely! You can substitute 3-4 whole eggs for the cup of liquid egg whites. This will change the nutrition profile and add a richer flavor, but works perfectly in the recipe.

What if I don’t have lavash bread?
Any large tortilla or wrap will work great in this recipe. Look for burrito-sized tortillas or even low-carb wraps if you’re watching your carbohydrate intake. Just make sure whatever you choose is large enough to hold all the filling.

Can I make this dairy-free?
Yes! Skip the Laughing Cow and feta cheese, and instead use dairy-free cream cheese and a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for a similar tangy flavor. You might also add a bit more salt to compensate for the missing feta.

How can I make sure my wrap doesn’t fall apart?
The key is not overfilling and making sure your lavash or tortilla is warm enough to be pliable but not so hot that it tears. Also, spreading the cheese on the wrap first creates a moisture barrier that helps prevent sogginess.
