A Spinach and Feta Breakfast Wrap is the sort of morning meal that makes you feel good about breakfast The creamy eggs and salty feta tucked into a warm tortilla bring together the best of quick cooking with satisfying flavor This wrap is my answer to busy weekdays and those weekends when I want something more than cold cereal

The first time I made this I was hoping for something nutritious that would still please picky eaters Now it has become a go to on family mornings when we all want something tasty and filling

Ingredients

• Eggs: bring protein and richness for a hearty filling Choose fresh large eggs for best results
• Fresh spinach: offers a bright green boost full of nutrients and a bit of color Choose spinach with crisp leaves and no wilted spots
• Crumbled feta cheese: adds a tangy punch and creamy texture Look for good quality feta with a crumbly texture
• Large tortillas: hold everything together and make it portable Select tortillas that are soft and flexible to avoid cracking
• Salt and pepper: bring out the flavors Use fresh cracked pepper if possible for deeper taste
• Olive oil: helps sauté the spinach and prevents sticking Choose extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor

Instructions

Prepare the Spinach:

Gently rinse the spinach leaves and pat them dry Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat Add spinach and sauté gently for about two minutes until wilted but still vibrant green This brings out the spinach flavor and keeps the texture tender

Beat and Season the Eggs:

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl Add salt and pepper Beat until combined and slightly frothy This step ensures fluffy eggs and even seasoning

Cook the Eggs:

Pour the eggs into the skillet with spinach Cook slowly over medium low heat Stir gently and continuously with a spatula to create soft creamy curds When the eggs look just set but still moist remove from heat This prevents overcooking and keeps everything tender

Add Feta:

Sprinkle crumbled feta over the warm eggs and spinach Gently fold so the cheese softens but does not melt completely The feta should stay a bit chunky for contrast

Warm the Tortillas:

Place tortillas on a dry skillet or in the microwave for a few seconds until they are warmed and pliable This step is essential so they roll easily and do not tear

Assemble the Wraps:

Spoon the egg spinach and feta mixture into each tortilla Roll up snugly tucking in the sides to create a neat wrap Slice if you like or serve whole

Save

Feta is hands down my favorite part Its saltiness transforms the mild eggs and greens into something special My kids always try to steal the biggest crumbles and sometimes we joke about who found the cheesiest bite

Storage Tips

Let wraps cool before storing Wrap tightly in foil or plastic and keep in the fridge for up to two days If you want to freeze wrap individually in parchment first then foil then place in a zip bag for up to one month To reheat microwave for one minute or toast on a pan for a firmer exterior

Ingredient Substitutions
