How to Make Egg White Wraps
Quick, easy, and protein-packed, these egg white wraps provide a delicious gluten-free, keto-friendly alternative to traditional versions. It’s a great recipe to start a new healthy habit today.
Ingredients For Egg Wraps
- Egg whites: You can crack whole eggs and use the yolks in another recipe or purchase bottled egg whites.
- Blanched almond flour: Be sure the package says “blanched”. Using unblanched almond flour (or almond meal) will give you a very gritty, fall-apart wrap.
- Salt
- Avocado
- Roma tomatoes
- Baby lettuce greens: Romaine lettuce or arugula would also work.
- Deli turkey: Feel free to use a different deli meat. Black forest ham would be delicious.
- Sliced Swiss cheese: You could also use sliced cheddar, gruyere, or another favorite.
Directions
- Make the batter. Whisk together the egg whites, blanched almond flour, and salt. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
- Make wrap. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and grease with cooking spray. Give the batter a whisk, pour it into the skillet, swirl it around, and cook for 2 minutes. Flip, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Assemble. Roll the egg wrap around avocado, Roma tomato, baby lettuce greens, deli turkey, and Swiss cheese.
Tips for Making Egg White Wraps
While this recipe is quite straightforward, it is important to pay attention to detail. Here are a couple of tips and tricks that will help ensure your egg white wraps turn out not only tasty but also functional.
- Bottled egg whites. Save yourself some time and energy and use bottled egg whites.
- Blanched almond flour. Make sure you are using blanched almond flour as opposed to almond meal. Almond meal is made from almonds that still have their skins which can add unwanted grit to the wraps and can also cause them to fall apart.
- Use room-temperature egg whites. Bottled or whole, you want your egg whites at room temperature before making the batter because they will spread more evenly in the pan.
- Let it rest. Allow the batter to rest for about 5 minutes and then whisk it again before adding it to the pan. The rest time will allow the eggs and the almond flour to meld together.
- Use a non-stick pan. You really want to use a nonstick pan here. Otherwise, your wrap may stick to the pan and fall apart when you flip it.
- Be gentle. When flipping and filling the wraps, be gentle. I like using a rubber spatula to flip for a gentler touch.
Recipe Variations
- Veggies galore. Swap the turkey for some sautéed veggies. I’ve been loving bell peppers and mushrooms!
- Make it spicy. Add a dash of hot sauce to the batter or spread a little chipotle aioli inside the wrap for a spicy kick.
- Go Mediterranean. Replace the filling with roasted chicken, feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and artichoke hearts.
- Asian fusion. Swap the filling out for stir-fried tofu, julienned carrots, bean sprouts, and a drizzle of teriyaki sauce.
- Breakfast time. Commit to breakfast and fill these wraps with sausage or bacon, avocado, and cheddar cheese.
- Borrow ideas. Grab a menu from your favorite sandwich shop, pick a sandwich or wrap that looks good to you, and use it as inspiration to fill your egg wrap.
Serving Suggestions
Enjoy egg white wraps on their own or grace them with some additional delicious company. Here are some of my favorite things to serve them with.
- Smoothie. A light, refreshing smoothie is the perfect addition to this grab-and-go breakfast. Try my Green Kale Smoothie, Immunity Boosting Smoothie, or my Mango Banana Smoothie.
- Salad. I love these wraps with a Green Goddess Salad or even a fruit salad. This Grape Salad is my favorite at the moment.
- Something decadent. Not on a health kick? Round this low-crab meal out with a slice of Cream Cheese-Filled Coffee Cake or my Baked Cinnamon Donuts with Vanilla Glaze. Breakfast never tasted so good.
- Tea or coffee. If you’re chowing down on an egg white wrap for breakfast, do yourself a favor and serve it alongside your favorite morning tea or coffee. This Easy Whipped Coffee is to die for, as is this simple Cortado Coffee. More of a tea person? Try my Matcha Latte or this Starbucks London Fog Drink.
Make Ahead Egg Wraps
Cook the egg mixture in the pan and turn it out onto a plate. Allow it to cool before sealing it in an airtight container and storing it in the fridge for up to 2 days. When you are ready to enjoy, just load one up with your favorite fillings, roll it up, and dive in.
