Pin It This wrap came together on a Tuesday morning when I had eggs and feta staring back at me from the fridge and zero patience for anything elaborate. The salty crumble of feta against soft, fluffy eggs felt like a small revelation, and the fact that it took fifteen minutes made it feel like a secret weapon.
I made these for my sister when she was rushing to catch an early flight, and she paused mid-bite to ask for the recipe. Something about the feta melting just enough into the eggs while still keeping its briny punch makes it feel special, even though its essentially breakfast in a hurry.
Ingredients
- Eggs: Four large eggs give you that perfect fluffy curd texture, and adding a splash of milk makes them feel lighter and more tender
- Baby spinach: One cup chopped wilts down into the eggs without making everything soggy, and it adds that subtle green freshness that balances the richness
- Feta cheese: Half a cup of crumbles is the sweet spot, enough to bring that salty tang throughout every bite without overpowering the eggs
- Whole wheat tortillas: Two large wraps hold everything together with a slight nuttiness that works beautifully with the Mediterranean flavors
- Tomato and green onions: These add little pops of brightness and a gentle bite that cut through the creaminess
Instructions
- Whisk your base:
- Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, pour in the milk if you are using it, and add salt and pepper. Whisk until everything is blended and slightly frothy, about thirty seconds.
- Soften the vegetables:
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and toss in the spinach and green onions. Sauté for about one minute until the spinach wilts but still has some life in it.
- Cook the eggs:
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook gently, pushing the eggs around with a spatula. You want them just set but still creamy, about two to three minutes. Remove from heat and fold in the feta and diced tomatoes.
- Warm the tortillas:
- Heat a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side to warm the tortillas, or pop them in the microwave for ten to fifteen seconds until pliable.
- Assemble and roll:
- Divide the egg mixture between the two tortillas, adding any fresh herbs, avocado, or hot sauce you like. Fold in the sides and roll tightly, then slice in half and serve while everything is still warm.
Pin It These wraps became my go-to when friends stayed over last minute, because I could put everything together in pajamas while coffee brewed and still feel like I had my life together.
Make It Your Own
The beauty here is how easily it adapts. Roasted red peppers add sweetness, kalamata olives bring a briny depth, and a handful of fresh herbs at the end brightens the whole thing. If you have extra time, caramelized onions take it to another place entirely.
Pick Your Greens
Spinach is classic, but arugula adds a peppery kick that cuts the richness. Kale works if you give it an extra minute to soften, and fresh herbs like parsley or dill folded in at the end make everything taste brighter and lighter.
Sides That Complete It
A glass of fresh orange juice balances the saltiness, and black coffee or tea keeps things simple. If you want something more substantial, a side of roasted potatoes or a simple fruit salad turns it into a full brunch situation.
- Keep the feta cold until the very end so it keeps its texture instead of melting completely away
- Use room-temperature eggs if you can remember to take them out, they cook more evenly
- Roll these wraps tightly and wrap them in foil if you need to take breakfast on the road
Pin It There is something deeply satisfying about breakfast that feels indulgent but comes together in less time than it takes to brew a second cup of coffee.
