This is a fantastic little wrap. It’s completely gluten-free since the wrap itself is made from just three ingredients; egg, coconut flour and salt. A real winner for anyone looking for a tasty little lunch. Great for dinner too, actually.
Gluten-Free Wraps
I’m a real fan of these egg wraps. For anyone wanting a gluten-free wrap, these are a game changer.
Just three ingredients make up these beauties and they couldn’t be simpler.
So think of your favourite wrap ingredients and get them inside one of these egg wraps. I’m willing to bet you’ll love them.
All The Flavours
In this recipe we’re filling them with a bevvy of complementary favours…lemon & pepper chicken, pesto, mayo and rocket (arugula). Yum!
At the time of writing this I have another egg wrap here, which I called a breakfast wrap. Truth be told, these wraps will fit in most meal situations – breakfast, lunch or dinner. Especially if you tailor them with your own fillings.
In fact, as I write this I’m thinking about making a larger egg ‘tortilla’ and making a stonking sausage and beans breakfast burrito.
How To Make Egg Wraps
These egg wraps are really simple to make. You’ll find the full recipe below, but here’s an overview:
- You’re going to heat the coconut oil in the pan on a medium heat. Getting the right heat for the first wrap of the session is perhaps the trickiest thing.
You’re looking for a very small amount of sizzle as you put the egg mixture in. Any more sizzle than that, turn down the heat to allow it to cook enough to flip, but without getting too brown.
Once you’ve found your heat level, any egg wraps you do after are much easier. - So get your egg mixture whisked and smooth. Try not to add it to the middle of the pan because you run the risk of it displacing the oil, resulting in the wrap sticking in the middle.
Instead, pout the mixture around the middle of the pan and let it fill in as it runs, or encourage that by moving the pan around. You’ll see all of this in the video below.
If you’re using a nonstick pan, you won’t experience any of the sticking I was just referring to. I really dislike nonstick because of the health concerns, so my instructions always relate to cast iron. For an up to date list of my kitchen kit, click here.
