Most social media recipes should be approached with a healthy dose of scepticism.
Many look super shiny but lack any actual flavour.
So in an ode to weed out the good from the bad, I started giving a few of them a go for research purposes.
There are ones that are an instant nope. I’m particularly thinking of kale salads and “healthy” bowls with zero seasoning when I say this.
I’m all for healthy food but unless it has good flavour it’s unlikely to become a staple source of nourishment.
Anyway, I found a pretty cool viral recipe.
It’s this egg wrap.
Basically an omelette that you slap a wrap onto, let it go crispy then stuff it with veggies.
It ticks the nutrition boxes and makes an awesome breakfast or lunch.
Whilst we are on the topic of wraps, please read the ingredients list.
Many are full of emulsifiers and various additives to keep them being the soft, bendy wraps that we are used to. Sadly these are the very same ingredients that are wreaking out gut health.
They are really hard to digest and cause bloating in most people.
The wraps I used here are by Crosta & Mollica. They don’t use random, chemical ingredients, just natural, real whole foods.
In case you are looking in supermarkets, the Crosta & Mollica wraps are called piadina.
It’s well worth looking for them. They are super tasty and develop a satisfying crispy exterior when toasted.
Ingredients for 1 wrap:
2 eggs
1 wrap
Oil for cooking (I used organic rapeseed oil)
Salt and pepper to season
Feta cheese
Salad veggies for stuffing inside the wrap. Anything goes. I used lambs lettuce, cherry tomatoes and rocket.
Hot sauce. The extra flavour is needed.
Method:
1. Break open the eggs and put them in a bowl. Give them a whisk to mix.
2. Put a frying pan on a medium heat. Ideally, the frying pan should be small/ big enough to fit the wrap snugly.
3. Add a splash of oil to the pan and pour the eggs into it. Let this cook until the edges start to set.
4. Put the wrap on top of the omelette and flip it over.
5. Let the wrap cook for a couple of minutes until it goes crispy.
6. Remove the eggy wrap from the pan and pop it on a plate. Season it will sea salt and black pepper.
7. Stuff the wrap with feta and whatever veggies you chose.
8. Drizzle some hot sauce on it, if it’s your thing.
9. Fold the wrap over. Proceed to stuff it in your face. Enjoy!
