Ingredients
Bacon and Ham:
The original Wake-Up Wrap typically features a protein like bacon, sausage, or ham. Choose a high-quality, flavorful option and consider cooking it to the perfect crispiness or tenderness based on personal preference. Alternative to meat, you can also make your Wake-Up Wrap using plant-based meat alternatives, tofu, tempeh, lentils, black beans, or chickpeas.
Egg:
While this Wake-Up Wrap provides you with instructions on how to make the perfect fried egg for your wrap, Dunkin Donuts often uses a folded egg patty in their Wake-Up Wrap. You can achieve a similar effect by beating eggs and cooking them in a round shape to fit the size of the wrap. However, if you want to make your wrap vegan, or simply don't like eggs, you can substitute them with silken tofu, commercial egg replacer, flax, or chia seeds.
Tortilla:
Choose a small tortilla or flatbread that is easy to fold and doesn't overwhelm the fillings. If you are looking for an alternative to a tortilla or flatbread there are a variety of options to choose from. Pita bread, lettuce wraps, Ezekiel bread, corn tortillas, rice paper wraps, and sweet potato toast are just a few choices.
Cheese:
While American cheese is used in this Wake-Up Wrap recipe, you can experiment with other varieties that complement the protein and eggs. Cheddar or Swiss are popular choices; however, you can also choose from a variety of dairy-free, vegan, and plant-based alternatives.
How to Make Wake-Up Wrap
Step One:
Cook bacon in a pan over medium heat. Use a pan big enough to ensure even and thorough cooking - roughly 2-3 minutes on each side.
Step Two:
Remove cooked bacon from the pan, place it on a paper towel-lined plate, and set aside.
Step Three:
In the same hot pan, over medium heat, crack your egg, add salt and pepper, and fry it to your liking. See the recipe notes for instructions on how to fry your egg to your liking.
Step Four:
Fry your tortilla for 30 seconds to 1 minute on the first side, flip, then add your cheese, ham, egg, and bacon.
Step Five:
Cook until the cheese starts to melt, then fold in half and cook for another 30 seconds.
Step Six:
Cut in half, serve, and enjoy!
Tips
- Cook your eggs to your liking. For a runny egg, cook for roughly 2 minutes until the whites are set, but the yolk remains runny. For over-easy, gently flip and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Over-medium eggs will need an additional 1-2 minutes following the flip for the yolk to set partially and an additional minute or two after that if you want your eggs over-hard.
- Dunkin' Donuts often adds a sauce or condiment to enhance flavor. Consider using mayonnaise, ketchup, or a special sauce to add a unique touch. Be mindful of the balance to prevent the wrap from becoming too soggy.
What to Serve With a Wake-Up Wrap
Pairing a Wake-Up Wrap with the right side dishes can enhance your overall breakfast experience. Consider serving your wrap alongside crispy hash browns to add a delightful crunch. For a heartier meal, a small portion of Greek yogurt with granola brings additional flavors and textures to the table. Complete the breakfast ensemble with a refreshing cucumber juice or fresh mango smoothie to kickstart your day with a well-balanced and satisfying meal.
FAQs
Can I make these Wake-Up Wraps in advance?
While you can prepare components like cooked protein and eggs in advance for quick assembly later, it's best to avoid freezing already assembled wraps. Try to assemble the wraps just before serving to prevent sogginess.
How long can leftover Wake-Up Wraps be kept fresh?
Leftover Wake-Up Wraps can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. To maintain freshness, store components separately and assemble them just before reheating.
What's the best way to reheat the Wake-Up Wrap?
To reheat a Wake-Up Wrap, use a microwave for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, checking periodically to avoid overcooking. Alternatively, reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes or until warmed through. This helps maintain the texture and flavor without compromising quality.
