These high-protein egg white wraps are a fresh, satisfying way to start the day. Lightly cooked egg whites are folded around a savory filling of sautéed spinach, crumbled feta, and a hint of garlic, then rolled into a soft tortilla. The result is a portable, protein-packed meal that feels anything but ordinary.
This recipe works because it keeps things simple yet flavorful. Egg whites provide a clean protein base, while spinach and feta add a briny, earthy contrast. The wraps come together in one skillet and are ready in under 20 minutes, making them ideal for busy mornings or a quick lunch on the go.
High-Protein Egg White & Spinach Wraps
Ingredients
Method
- Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add spinach and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Transfer spinach to a bowl and set aside. Wipe the skillet clean.
- In a bowl, whisk egg whites with remaining salt and pepper until frothy.
- Return skillet to medium-low heat and pour in half of the egg whites. Cook without stirring for 1 minute, then gently push cooked edges toward the center with a spatula, tilting the pan to let uncooked egg run underneath. Cook until just set, about 2-3 minutes total. Slide onto a plate and repeat with remaining egg whites.
- To assemble, lay a tortilla on a plate. Top with half of the cooked egg, half of the spinach, and half of the feta. Add avocado slices if using. Roll up tightly, tucking in the sides. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- Serve immediately, or wrap in foil for later. If desired, warm the wraps in a dry skillet for 1 minute per side to soften the tortilla.
Tips for Success
For the fluffiest egg whites, whisk them vigorously until frothy and cook them over medium-low heat, stirring gently with a spatula. This prevents them from becoming rubbery. If you like a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture.
You can customize the filling with whatever you have on hand: chopped bell peppers, mushrooms, or even a handful of shredded mozzarella. To keep the wraps from getting soggy, make sure the spinach is well-drained and the egg whites are fully cooked before assembling. Serve immediately or wrap tightly in foil for a grab-and-go meal.
