Directions

Prepare the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a splash of milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Cook the Eggs: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter or oil. Pour in the whisked eggs and cook, stirring gently, until scrambled and just set.
Warm the Ham: If using cold ham, lightly warm it in the same skillet for a few seconds.
Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat and place a portion of scrambled eggs in the center. Add a slice or portion of ham on top, then sprinkle with shredded cheese.
Fold the Wrap: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to create a wrap.
Heat the Wrap (Optional): For a crispy texture, place the wrap back in the skillet for a minute on each side until golden brown.
Serve: Enjoy immediately or wrap in foil for an easy grab-and-go breakfast.

Variations

Vegetable Boost: Add sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or spinach for extra nutrients.
Spicy Kick: Incorporate jalapeños, hot sauce, or pepper jack cheese.
Protein Swap: Use turkey, bacon, or sausage instead of ham.
Low-Carb Option: Replace the tortilla with a lettuce wrap or egg wrap.

FAQs

How do I prevent the wrap from getting soggy?

To avoid sogginess, let the eggs cool slightly before assembling, and avoid overfilling with moist ingredients.

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

Yes! Prepare and store them in the fridge or freezer for a quick meal option.

What cheese works best for this recipe?

Cheddar, Swiss, Monterey Jack, or even a blend of cheeses work well.

Can I use corn tortillas instead of flour?

Yes, but they tend to be less pliable, so warming them first helps prevent breaking.

Are these wraps good for meal prep?

Absolutely! They are easy to store and reheat, making them great for busy mornings.

How can I make these wraps healthier?

Use whole wheat tortillas, add vegetables, and opt for lean ham or turkey.

Can I add a sauce inside the wrap?

Yes! Try adding salsa, hot sauce, or a drizzle of hollandaise for extra flavor.

What’s the best way to reheat them for a crispy texture?

Reheat in a skillet or toaster oven for a crispier finish rather than using the microwave.

Can I use scrambled egg whites instead?

Yes, egg whites can be used for a lighter version of this wrap.

How do I keep the wrap from unrolling?

Tightly roll the tortilla and let it rest seam-side down for a moment. Wrapping it in foil can also help keep its shape.
