Ingredients

-
1 cup liquid egg whites (or whites from 6–7 large eggs)
-
â…› tsp salt (optional)

How to Make Egg White Wraps
1. Prepare Your Pan:
Heat a non-stick skillet (8–10 inches) over medium heat. Lightly coat with non-stick spray or a few drops of oil.
2. Mix Ingredients:
In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together egg whites and salt (plus any spices or herbs, if using).
3. Cook the Wrap:
Pour about ¼ cup of the egg white mixture into the hot pan. Swirl the pan immediately to spread the egg whites into a thin, even layer — like making a crepe.
4. Let It Set:
Cook for 1–2 minutes, or until the egg white is fully set and opaque. Do not flip unless the top is still runny — it should be firm and flexible.
5. Remove & Repeat:
Use a spatula to gently lift the edges and slide the wrap onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining mixture to make 4 wraps total.
Notes
-
Pan Size: A smaller skillet (8–10 inches) works best for even, round wraps.
-
Storage: Stack wraps with parchment between them and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat briefly in a pan or microwave.
-
Fill Ideas: Try stuffing with sautéed veggies, hummus, turkey, avocado, or scrambled eggs.
-
Make It Cheesy: Add a sprinkle of grated cheese while the wrap is still in the pan for a melty touch.
FAQs
Q: Can I use whole eggs instead of egg whites?
A: Yes, but the wraps will be richer and higher in fat. Use about 3–4 whole eggs, whisked well.
Q: Are egg white wraps good for keto or low-carb diets?
A: Absolutely! They’re virtually carb-free and rich in protein, making them keto-friendly.
Q: Can I bake these instead of using a pan?
A: Not recommended — they cook too quickly and thinly for baking. A skillet gives better control and texture.
Q: Do they taste eggy?
A: Not strongly. They’re mild and neutral in flavor, especially when seasoned or filled with flavorful ingredients.
