Tips: Learn how to make egg wraps

Discover our tips to take your egg wraps to the next level with expert finesse. These insights will help you make wraps that are as enjoyable as possible.

Use a non-stick pan

Use a good quality non-stick frying pan to avoid the eggs sticking and tearing when you try to flip or remove them from the pan. A little butter or oil helps create a golden exterior without sticking.

Low and slow

Cook the egg mixture over medium heat. Too high heat can make the eggs tough and rubbery. Let the eggs cook slowly and evenly for a tender, flexible wrap that is easy to roll.

Flipping the egg wraps

To flip an egg wrap effectively, wait until the edges have set and the middle is almost firm. Use a flexible rubber spatula to carefully lift and turn the wrap, keeping it whole. This technique helps prevent tears and keeps the shape intact, resulting in a perfectly golden and whole wrap ready for your favourite fillings.

Ripe avocado

Use a ripe avocado for a perfect buttery texture. It should feel slightly soft under pressure but not mushy. A ripe avocado blends beautifully with the other ingredients, adding a rich, creamy texture to the wrap.

Super easy egg wraps with crispy ham and avocado

These ingredients not only complement each other exceptionally well but also elevate the humble egg wrap in the best way possible. Both adults and children will fall in love with these wraps. And the best part is that they are so easy to make.

Creamy filling with milk, white cheese, herbs, and a hint of lemon

The creamy filling for our egg wraps combines the tangy notes of white cheese with the freshness of herbs such as basil, mint, or coriander and the smoothness of milk. Lemon juice gently cuts through the richness of the white cheese, enhancing its flavour without overpowering the delicate herbal notes. The result is a dreamy spread-like texture that is irresistibly creamy and rich, providing a refreshing contrast when paired with soft avocado and crispy ham.

Enjoy them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner

These egg wraps are excellent, whether served warm, straight from the pan, or cold, making them perfect for meal prep or on-the-go lunches. The ease with which they can be prepared and stored means you can enjoy a delicious meal anytime without fuss or lengthy preparation. Perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, they adapt to your schedule and ensure a delicious meal is ready whenever needed.

Adjust the recipe to your liking

Mastered the basic egg wrap? Then, it is time to make it your own. You can make egg wraps using just egg whites. This version is slightly less firm but works just as well as wraps made with whole eggs. Use the same cooking process as regular egg wraps and adjust the egg white quantity to match your pan size.

If you are looking to swap out the serrano ham, there are plenty of options. To introduce different flavours and textures, you could use turkey bacon, smoked salmon, or shredded chicken.

While basil, mint, and coriander are the original choices, feel free to experiment with, for example, dill, parsley, or chives, depending on what is available or preferred. For a bit of spice, consider adding chilli flakes, paprika, or a dash of cumin, which can complement the creamy elements beautifully and add an exciting twist to each bite.

Avocado adds a creamy, buttery texture to the wraps that is hard to beat. To build on this base, you can mix in chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, or peppers for added crunch and freshness. Consider drizzling a bit of sriracha, spreading some pesto, or adding a dollop of a yoghurt-based sauce. These additions enrich the wraps, making them even more delicious and satisfying.
