The egg wrap is a portability upgrade. Constraint: wraps get soggy if the filling is wet. Recommended: cook out moisture, then roll tight while warm.

Whole-grain wrap Spinach Feta (optional) Roll tight

*Egg-only baseline. Wrap + cheese add calories and carbs.

Overview

Goal: a wrap that holds together and tastes balanced. Recommended: soft scrambled eggs + cooked greens + a small amount of salty cheese.

Constraints

Sogginess moisture cook greens
Structure tight roll warm wrap
Flavor salt + acid lemon/hot sauce

Quick takeaway

Cook spinach first, then eggs. Warm the wrap, add filling, roll tight, and let it rest seam-side down for 30 seconds.

Validation: the bottom stays dry and the wrap doesn’t split.

Ingredients

Keep the filling compact. Overfilling is the common failure mode.

Base (1 serving)

Eggs 5 large scrambled
Whole-grain wrap 1 large 10–12 inch
Spinach 2 cups cooked down
Feta 20–30g optional
Oil/butter 1 tsp for pan

Optional add-ons

Hot sauce to taste acid + heat
Greek yogurt 1 tbsp cool sauce
Tomatoes few slices use sparingly
Pickled onions 1 tbsp crunch

Constraint: watery fillings (tomatoes) increase sogginess—keep them minimal or add at the last moment.

Steps

Cook out moisture, then roll while everything is warm and flexible.

Step by step

  1. Heat pan on medium. Add a small amount of oil.
  2. Cook spinach 1–2 minutes until wilted. Season lightly and move to the side.
  3. Whisk eggs, pour into pan, and scramble softly. Pull while slightly underdone.
  4. Warm the wrap (dry pan or microwave for 10 seconds).
  5. Add spinach + eggs + feta in a tight line. Add sauce sparingly.
  6. Fold sides in, roll tight, rest seam-side down 30 seconds, then slice.

Troubleshooting

Wrap splits too cold/dry warm it
Soggy wet filling less sauce
Falls apart overfilled reduce volume

Wrap up: dry filling + tight roll = portable meal.

FAQ

Practical answers for a wrap that holds up.

Yes, but keep sauce minimal and let the eggs cool slightly before wrapping to reduce steam. Wrap tightly in foil.
A large, pliable whole-grain wrap is recommended. If it’s stiff or dry, warm it briefly so it rolls without cracking.
Use salt on the eggs, then add acid (hot sauce, lemon, pickles). The wrap is neutral, so seasoning matters.
Yes—choose lower-moisture options or cook them first (mushrooms, peppers). Raw tomatoes can make the wrap soggy.

Wrap up: keep moisture low and seasoning high.
