Breakfast Scramble Wraps
Kickstart your day with these high-protein breakfast scramble wraps, combining fluffy eggs, fresh spinach, and creamy avocado in a warm mandarin pancake for a quick and satisfying meal.
For 1 serving
Prepare your ingredients: Mash the half avocado in a small bowl until smooth or chunky, as preferred. If using larger spinach leaves, roughly chop them. Have your mandarin pancakes ready.
Whisk the eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk together the large eggs, milk or cream, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy. Stir in the fresh baby spinach.
Cook the scramble: Heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once shimmering, pour in the egg mixture. Cook, stirring gently with a spatula, until the eggs are just set and still moist, about 2-3 minutes. Do not overcook.
Warm the pancakes: While the eggs are cooking, warm the mandarin pancakes. You can do this by microwaving them for 15-20 seconds, or briefly heating them in a dry skillet over medium-low heat for 30 seconds per side until pliable.
Assemble the wraps: Lay the warm mandarin pancakes flat. Spread the mashed avocado evenly over each pancake, leaving a small border.
Add the filling: Divide the scrambled eggs and spinach mixture equally between the two pancakes, placing it over the avocado.
Finish with sauce: Drizzle with Sriracha or your favorite hot sauce, if desired, for an extra kick.
Roll and serve: Carefully roll up each pancake tightly to form a wrap. Serve immediately and enjoy your high-protein breakfast!
What to keep in mind.
4 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1For extra creamy eggs, remove them from the heat just before they are fully set, as they will continue to cook slightly from residual heat.
- 2If mandarin pancakes are unavailable, soft flour tortillas, crepes, or even large lettuce wraps can be used as a substitute.
- 3To warm pancakes effectively, place them between two damp paper towels and microwave for 15-20 seconds, or pan-fry them quickly without oil until soft and pliable.
- 4Customize your scramble by adding a sprinkle of shredded cheese (like cheddar or feta) or a pinch of red pepper flakes for more heat.
