Ingredients
Vegetables & Herbs
- 1 cup chopped spinach, packed
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- ⅓ cup sun dried tomatoes soaked in oil, chopped
Dairy & Eggs
- 2 large egg whites
- ¼ cup feta cheese
- optional: 1 egg yolk
Pantry
- 1 tablespoon olive oil from sun dried tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
- 1 10-inch whole wheat flour tortilla
Instructions
- Whisk the egg whites: Place the egg whites into a bowl and whisk until well combined, then set aside.
- Heat the skillet: Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil taken from the sun dried tomatoes.
- Sauté spinach: Once the oil is fragrant, add the chopped spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted.
- Add garlic and sun-dried tomatoes: Mix in the minced garlic, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, salt, and pepper with the spinach, then sauté for an additional minute to combine flavors.
- Form the egg mixture base: Shape the spinach mixture into a 10-inch diameter circle in the skillet.
- Pour egg whites: Carefully pour the whisked egg whites over the spinach circle and use a spatula to maintain the circular shape.
- Season: Sprinkle the Italian seasoning evenly over the eggs.
- Cook eggs: Allow the eggs to cook for 3-4 minutes, using a spatula to gently lift the edges to prevent sticking and prepare for flipping.
- Add feta cheese and tortilla: Sprinkle feta cheese over the eggs, then place the whole wheat tortilla on top of the eggs in the skillet.
- Flip the wrap: Using a plate or large spatula, carefully flip the tortilla and egg mixture so the tortilla is now on the bottom.
- Heat tortilla and fold: Let the tortilla warm for 30 seconds, then fold the bottom third of the tortilla away from you over the eggs, folding the two sides inward to create an open envelope shape.
- Brown folded edges: Press the folded edges down for 10-15 seconds while the bottom of the wrap browns.
- Final flip and brown: Carefully flip the wrap over so the folded edges brown as well, cooking for another 1-2 minutes.
- Serve: Remove the wrap from the skillet and serve immediately. Enjoy your nutritious spinach feta wrap!
