Sweet sun dried tomatoes add a punch, all tucked up in a whole wheat tortilla that gets nice and toasty. You’ve got a crispy outside with a protein-packed, flavorful inside. Every bite’s got something good going on.
Started making these when I saw how much I’d been spending grabbing breakfast out. Now everyone at home asks for ’em on crazy mornings. It’s a little like Greek spanakopita rolled up to eat anywhere, and honestly that combo just works.
Irresistible Ingredients
- Olive oil: Adds mellow flavor and keeps everything from sticking while cooking.
- Sun dried tomatoes: Bring sweet, rich flavor that plays well with the creamy cheese and greens.
- Egg whites: Go fluffy and light, bringing protein without weighing things down.
- Baby spinach: Packs in vitamins and a splash of green earthiness without overpowering the other stuff.
- Crumbled feta: Salty and tangy, this cheese gives a punch of Mediterranean flavor.
- Whole wheat tortilla: Holds it all together and gives you extra fiber and that nutty taste.
Simple Breakfast Creation
- Toasting For Crunch:
- Heat up a dry skillet on medium. Pop your wrapped breakfast in there seam-side down so it seals shut as it browns. Let it get golden and crisp for about two minutes, then flip it and do the other side just as long. Cheese melts inside and the outside gets a perfect crunch.
- Wrapping Things Up:
- With your filling in the middle, fold up the bottom of the tortilla over the good stuff, then each side in so you make a little package. Keep rolling from the bottom till it’s all sealed in. This keeps your filling from trying to escape later on.
- All Together Now:
- Lay a tortilla out flat. Pile your eggs in the middle, then add spinach on top. Sprinkle with feta and scatter on the sun dried tomatoes so every bite’s got a mix.
- Wilt Your Greens:
- When eggs are done, take them out. Throw the spinach into the still-warm pan—move it around till it softens and goes bright green, about a minute and a half. Don’t cook it too long.
- Get Your Eggs Ready:
- Pour a splash of olive oil into a good nonstick pan on medium heat—once it looks a little shimmery, in go the egg whites. Season with a bit of salt and pepper. Let them firm up at the edges, then use a spatula to ease the uncooked parts underneath. When it’s almost set, roll them up like a loose omelet. Now you’re set to fill the wrap.

I’m totally hooked on the sun dried tomatoes here—they’re super sweet and taste like summer. Even my husband, who usually skips breakfast, asks me to make these a lot. So if you’re feeding picky eaters, this is a solid bet.
Easy Morning Options
This wrap makes mornings easier without any hassle. You get a nice energy boost from the eggs and cheese paired with whole wheat goodness. Make a batch on Sunday and you can fly through hectic weekdays with zero stress and lots of healthy options. Seriously, just grab one and go.
Switch It Up
It’s super easy to change this for whatever you want. Veggies? You’re set. Want it vegan? Use tofu and plant based cheese instead. Low carb? Try a different tortilla. Toss in some fresh herbs like basil or dill for a brand new spin, or drop in olives or roasted red peppers if you’re big on Mediterranean flavors.
Storing Tips
Let wraps cool all the way before you stash them so you don’t end up with soggy bread. Wrap each one up tight in plastic or a reusable wrap and keep in the fridge for up to five days. Want to freeze? Go for it—just wrap in foil and label so you remember when you made them. They’ll last about two months in the freezer. Defrost in the fridge for best results before reheating.
