Equipment

Directions

<ol class="no-list-style"><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>In a medium bowl, add eggs and cream cheese. Using a hand mixer, blend until completely smooth with no visible cream cheese lumps. This creates a batter that will cook into a flexible, sturdy wrap rather than a typical scrambled egg texture. Season with salt and pepper and mix again.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon butter and swirl to coat. Pour approximately 80ml (about 1/4 of your egg mixture) into the pan, quickly tilting the pan in a circular motion to spread the mixture into a thin, even circle about 20cm in diameter.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>Cook the egg wrap for 2-3 minutes until the top appears mostly set but still slightly wet. Carefully flip using a wide spatula and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute. The ideal egg wrap should be flexible enough to fold without breaking (overcooking will make them brittle). Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining egg mixture.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>To assemble each burrito, place an egg wrap on a flat surface. Layer one-fourth of the bacon, cheese, avocado slices, spinach (if using), and chives in the center of the wrap, leaving a 2.5cm border around the edges.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>Fold in the sides of the egg wrap first, then roll from the bottom up, creating a tight burrito shape. The egg wrap will be slightly sticky and should seal itself. If it doesn't stick, you can secure with a toothpick.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4>For a warmer burrito with melted cheese, you can return the assembled burrito to the skillet for 1-2 minutes over low heat, turning occasionally until warmed through. Alternatively, you can wrap in parchment paper and aluminum foil and freeze for up to 1 month. To reheat from frozen, remove foil, keep parchment, and microwave for 2-3 minutes or bake at 180°C for 15-20 minutes.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 7</h4>Serve immediately with sour cream on the side if desired. For meal prep, wrap cooled burritos individually in parchment paper and refrigerate for up to 3 days. The egg wraps may soften in the refrigerator but will firm back up when reheated.</li></ol>

What ingredients are used in Keto Breakfast Burritos (Egg Wrap)?

The main ingredients include eggs, cream cheese, butter, bacon, cheddar cheese, avocado, spinach (optional), chives, and sour cream for serving. The egg and cream cheese mixture creates a pliable wrap that replaces traditional flour tortillas, keeping the recipe low-carb and keto-friendly.

How to cook Keto Breakfast Burritos (Egg Wrap) at home?

Learn how to cook Keto Breakfast Burritos by first creating egg wraps from a smooth egg-cream cheese mixture cooked in a non-stick pan until flexible but set. Fill with cooked bacon, cheese, avocado and other fillings, then fold like a burrito. They can be enjoyed immediately or meal-prepped for convenient breakfasts throughout the week.

Can egg wraps be made ahead and stored for meal prep?

Yes, egg wraps are excellent for meal prep! You can make and assemble the burritos up to 3 days in advance and store them in the refrigerator wrapped in parchment paper. They can also be frozen for up to a month - simply wrap in parchment paper and aluminum foil, then reheat when needed.

Why does my egg wrap break when I try to fold it?

Egg wraps typically break if they're overcooked or cooked at too high a temperature. Cook on medium-low heat and remove from the pan when the top is still slightly moist but mostly set. Adding cream cheese to the egg mixture also helps create flexibility in the wrap.

What are good low-carb filling alternatives for these breakfast wraps?

Great low-carb filling alternatives include cooked sausage, ham, leftover keto-friendly meats, different cheese varieties, sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, olives, fresh herbs, and various leafy greens. Consider adding hot sauce or salsa for extra flavour without significant carb impact.
