Instructions
-
Prepare the Eggs: Begin by beating the eggs with salt and pepper in a bowl, ensuring they are well combined and seasoned to your taste.
-
Sauté the Aromatics: Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat and add the extra virgin olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the thinly sliced spring onion, minced green chilli, and garlic. Sauté these ingredients until they become fragrant and soft.
-
Cook the Spinach: Add the chopped baby spinach to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, until the spinach has wilted down. Once wilted, remove the mixture from the skillet and set it aside in a bowl.
-
Sauté the Tomatoes: In the same skillet, add the halved cherry tomatoes and sauté them for a minute or until they soften slightly. This step will bring out their natural sweetness and make them tender.
-
Combine the Ingredients: Return the sautéed spring onion, spinach, and garlic mixture back into the skillet with the tomatoes. Stir to combine all the ingredients evenly.
-
Add the Eggs: Pour the beaten eggs over the vegetable mixture in the skillet. Allow the eggs to cook gently on low heat. Using a spoon or spatula, push the eggs from the edges toward the center, allowing uncooked egg to flow to the edges. Cook until the eggs are mostly set.
-
Add the Mozzarella: Once the eggs are nearly cooked through, arrange the thin slices of mozzarella cheese over the top of the eggs. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for a few more minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Slice the Omelette: Once the mozzarella has melted, remove the skillet from the heat. Carefully divide the omelette into 4 wedges.
-
Warm the Tortillas: On a griddle, warm the whole wheat flour tortillas until they are soft and pliable. Optionally, you can brush them with a little butter or olive oil and cook for a minute on each side to enhance flavor.
-
Assemble the Wraps: Lay the warm tortillas flat on a plate. Place a slice of the mozzarella-covered egg mixture onto each tortilla. Fold the sides of the tortilla in and roll it up tightly to form a wrap.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Serve these Savory Egg Wraps with Spinach, Cherry Tomato, and Fresh Mozzarella as a party appetizer or as part of a snack box. They pair wonderfully with Pineapple Jalapeño Pops for a more festive presentation.
