Equipment
- 1 Large Bowl
- 1 Large Skillet
- 1 large plate (for eggs)
- 1 large plate (for spinach)
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Spatula
- Aluminum foil (optional, for long-term freezing)
- Gallon zip-top freezer bag
Ingredients
- 10 large eggs
- ½ pound about 5 cups baby spinach
- 4 whole-wheat tortillas about 9 inches each, burrito-sized
- ½ pint cherry or grape tomatoes halved
- 4 ounces feta cheese crumbled
- Butter or olive oil for cooking
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Eggs – Whisking and Seasoning: Begin by cracking all 10 eggs into a large mixing bowl. Using a whisk or fork, vigorously beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined and the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy. Sprinkle in a pinch of salt and a generous dash of freshly ground black pepper to enhance the flavor. Take a moment to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed, as this will form the foundation of your breakfast wrap’s taste.
- Cook the Eggs – Gentle Scramble: Place a large skillet over medium heat and add just enough butter or olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Allow the fat to melt completely or heat until it shimmers, ensuring it’s hot but not smoking. Pour in the whisked eggs and let them sit undisturbed for 20–30 seconds to begin setting. Then, using a spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs, creating soft curds. Continue cooking and occasionally stirring until the eggs are fully set but still moist and tender. Avoid overcooking to prevent dryness. Once done, transfer the eggs to a large plate to cool to room temperature.
- Prepare the Spinach – Sautéing to Wilt: Rinse your skillet or wipe it clean to prevent residual egg flavors. Return it to medium heat and add a small pat of butter or a drizzle of olive oil. Pour in the fresh baby spinach and stir frequently, allowing it to wilt evenly. The spinach should turn a vibrant green and soften without becoming mushy or watery. Remove from heat and spread the cooked spinach on a separate large plate to cool. This prevents the wrap from becoming soggy during assembly.
- Prepare the Other Ingredients – Tomatoes and Feta: While the eggs and spinach are cooling, halve the cherry or grape tomatoes and crumble the feta cheese into a small bowl. These fresh ingredients add flavor, texture, and nutrition to the wraps. Set them aside so that all components are ready for assembly.
- Assemble the Wraps – Layering for Flavor: Place a whole-wheat tortilla on a clean, flat work surface. Down the center of the tortilla, layer approximately a quarter of the scrambled eggs, followed by a quarter of the sautéed spinach. Add a few halved cherry tomatoes and sprinkle a quarter of the crumbled feta over the top. Make sure the filling is centered and evenly distributed to ensure each bite has a balanced combination of ingredients.
- Wrap the Burritos – Folding Technique: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling, then tightly roll it from the bottom up to create a secure wrap. Ensure the seam is tucked underneath to prevent the filling from spilling out. Repeat this process with the remaining three tortillas and remaining ingredients. Each wrap should be firm but not overly compressed, preserving the texture of the eggs, spinach, and cheese.
- Freeze or Store – Meal Prep Ready: For make-ahead convenience, place the wraps into a gallon-size zip-top freezer bag. If you plan to freeze them for longer than one week, individually wrap each burrito in aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. Store in the freezer until ready to eat.
- Reheat and Serve – Quick Breakfast Solution: To enjoy, unwrap a frozen breakfast wrap and place it on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for about 2 minutes, or until heated through. Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave, so adjust as necessary. Allow the wrap to cool slightly before biting in—it will be piping hot inside. Serve immediately for a satisfying, nutritious start to your day.
- Optional Serving Tips – Enhancing Flavor: For added flavor, consider a light drizzle of hot sauce, a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or chives, or a side of avocado slices. These optional touches can elevate the wrap without compromising its balanced nutritional profile.
Notes
- For softer scrambled eggs, cook them over low heat and stir gently, but be cautious if you plan to freeze.
- Use fresh, firm baby spinach for the best texture; avoid overcooking to prevent sogginess.
- Whole-wheat tortillas provide fiber and structure, but you can substitute with low-carb or spinach tortillas for variation.
- Wrap tightly and cool ingredients completely before freezing to avoid condensation and freezer burn.
- Adjust seasoning to taste; feta adds natural saltiness, so start lightly with added salt.
