Recipe Breakdown
Servings: 1
Ingredients:
- 1 pastured egg (for one wrap)
- Coconut oil or Kerry Gold butter
- Pink Himalayan salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste
Directions:
1. Whisk the Egg:
In a bowl, whisk the egg until the yolk and whites are well blended, creating a uniform texture.
2. Heat the Pan:
Heat a non-stick or ceramic pan over medium-high heat. Once warmed, add enough coconut oil or Kerry Gold butter to coat the bottom of the pan.
3. Cook the Wrap:
Pour the egg mixture into the pan, rotating it gently to allow the egg to spread evenly into a thin layer. Remember, the thinner the wrap, the easier it will be to handle!
4. Flip and Finish:
Once one side is cooked, carefully flip the egg over to cook the other side for just a minute or so, until fully done. Then, remove the egg wrap from the pan and place it on a plate or rack to cool if you’re planning to prepare a cold wrap.
5. Fill and Roll:
Now comes the fun part! Place your choice of fillings on the wrap—whether savory or sweet—and roll it up to enclose all the goodness.
Meal Prep Tip
Feel free to make a few extra wraps for the week ahead. Simply store them covered in the refrigerator, ready for you to fill and enjoy as needed!
Other Filling Options
- Savory Choices: Sprinkle with shredded cheese and sautéed veggies such as mushrooms or bell peppers, then roll up.
- Herb Infusion: Add fresh herbs, like dill, to the beaten egg. Once cooked, cool the wrap and spread with cream cheese and smoked salmon before rolling.
- Creamy Delights: Mix in chopped spinach and cream cheese for a rich filling.
- Classic Egg Salad: Fill with homemade egg salad and crisp lettuce for a protein-packed option.
