Ingredients
Eggs:
While eggs serve as the base for the egg white wraps, there are many various substitutes you can use to make delicious wraps with. Silken tofu, chia or flax eggs, applesauce, mashed banana, yogurt, and buttermilk all work in place of eggs in this recipe allowing you to create wraps that meed any dietary need or preference you may have.
Coconut Flour:
Coconut flour is used in this recipe because the texture is slightly crumbly and tender making it ideal for making wraps. All-purpose, almond, tapioca, and chickpea flours are all good substitutions to use, however, they may affect the taste and texture of the final product.
Seasoning:
While this recipe only calls for some garlic powder and salt in the egg white mixture, there are a variety of different herbs, spices, and flavorings that you can infuse your eggs and give them some flavor. Paprika, thyme, cumin, chili powder,rosemary, smoked paprika, oregano, red pepper flakes, onion powder, turmeric, lemon zest, and soy sauce can all make a delicious impact on the flavor of your egg white wraps.
Fillings:
These egg white wraps are so versatile that you can fill them with just about anything. You can try adding vegetables like bell peppers, tomatoes, or avocado. Add proteins such as chicken, turkey, ham, or tofu. Don't forget about your favorite cheeses including cheddar, feta, and mozzarella. Even herbs such as parsley, cilantro, and basil can be experimented with. Choose fillings that you enjoy the most and have fun coming up with new and intriguing flavor combinations.
How to Make Egg White Wraps
Step One:
Begin by separating your egg yolks from the whites. Discard or repurpose the yolks.
Step Two:
Add coconut flour, salt, and garlic powder to the egg whites and beat with a fork or whisk until incorporated.
Step Three:
Place your frying pan on medium-low heat, coat the cooking surface with oil, and pour approximately one tablespoon of the egg mixture into your frying pan. Swirl the pan around to cover the surface with the egg as you would a crepe.
Step Four:
Cook until the middle begins to bubble, flip, and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute longer.
Step Five:
Place your wrap on a plate and fill it with chopped mushrooms and spinach.
Step Six:
Roll your wrap like a burrito, cut it in half, serve, and enjoy!
Tips
- With a bowl underneath, pass the yolk between the two halves of the eggshell to separate your eggs. The whites will naturally separate themselves from the yolk, dropping into a bowl underneath, leaving you with just the yellow yolk. Discard or repurpose that yolk and use the whites for this recipe.
- You can also use whole eggs if you prefer a richer flavor and more nutrients, but using egg whites keeps the dish low in calories and fat.
- Egg whites cook very quickly, so it is essential to monitor your eggs while cooking to avoid burning them.
What to Serve With Egg White Wraps
These quick and easy egg white wraps pair wonderfully with a variety of complementary side dishes. Consider serving them with a side of Greek yogurt and fresh fruit, a smoothie, or a crisp green garden salad dressed in a light vinaigrette if you are looking for some healthy breakfast options. If you're looking for a heartier option, oven-roasted sweet potato or a serving of quinoa salad with roasted vegetables will leave diners feeling more satisfied.
FAQs
