Why we love these healthy egg wraps
- Tasty! For me, that combination of smoked salmon and eggs is the equivalent of bacon and eggs. I love the slightly salty taste the smoked salmon offers similar to the bacon, but instead of the saturated fat, it provides those heart healthy omega-3s.
- Nutritious & satisfying: With 26 grams of protein and 4 grams of fibre, these breakfast wraps are high in protein, and the perfect satisfying option. That protein and fibre combo can also help to keep your blood sugar level stable for more energy and less cravings throughout the day.
- Easily adaptable: You can easily make this wrap suit your dietary needs. You can use a gluten-free or low carb wrap, or skip the tortilla altogether and simply wrap the egg around the fillings!
Ingredient Notes
- Egg whites: Egg whites are a great source of protein while also being a low calorie and lower fat option. Use liquid egg white or whole eggs if you prefer. Simply discard the egg yolks or refrigerate and save them for later.
- Mustard: Use Dijon mustard to add a slight tang to each bite. I typically use the smooth variety but you can also use grainy Dijon mustard.
- Tortilla: I generally use a whole wheat tortillas, but you can also sub in a white tortilla, gluten-free or a low carb wrap if preferred.
- Smoked salmon: Just like fresh salmon, smoked salmon is a great source of protein, vitamins, minerals, and omega-3s. If you’re not a fan of smoked salmon, you could also sub in ham or skip it altogether.
- Baby spinach: The perfect way to incorporate some extra greens, plus it adds a nice crunch to each bite. You can also sub in arugula if desired.
- Feta cheese: It’s tough to beat that feta egg combo! The cheese adds a nice salty and creamy flavour that compliments the other ingredients perfectly! You could also sub in goat cheese.
Step by step instructions
- Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spray with non-stick cooking spray or coat lightly with oil.
- In a small bowl, combine egg whites, green onion, Dijon mustard, and pepper and mix well with a fork.
- Pour the mixture into the hot pan and tilt to evenly distribute mixture over the bottom of the pan.
- Allow it to cook for 3-4 minutes or until cooked enough so that it won’t fall apart when flipping.
- Carefully flip with a large spatula and let it cook another 1-2 minutes.
- Remove from pan and place egg flat in the center of the tortilla.
- Next, place the smoked salmon, baby spinach and crumbled feta in a strip down the centre of the egg white (or use other optional fillings).
- Wrap the tortilla tightly around the fillings. Cut in half. Serve toasted or at room temperature.
How to toast wraps
If you’re a lover of crunch wraps and prefer that your wrap is a little warm and crispy on the outside, then you can toast these wraps on the stove or in the oven.
Stove top: If you want to toast them on the stove, heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Place the wraps seam side down into the pan and cook for two minutes on each side, until nicely toasted.
Oven: If you prefer to toast them in the oven, transfer wraps to a baking sheet and toast at 350 degrees F for about 10-15 minutes or until the wrap is lightly browned and crispy on the outside. You can also use a toaster oven if preferred.
Recipe Notes:
- I recommend using a smaller frying pan if possible to reduce the likelihood of the egg falling apart when you flip it. It makes the egg thicker and stronger for flipping. I used an 8-inch skillet. You can use a larger pan if desired, but the egg will be thinner so be very careful when flipping it.
- Make sure the one side of the egg is cooked enough before flipping so it doesn’t make a mess. Also use cooking spray or oil so that it doesn’t stick. It’s much easier to wrap around all of those delicious fillings if it stays in one piece.
- Adjust the amount of feta used according to taste. I used one tablespoon and found it added just the right amount of salty flavour to compliment the other ingredients.
- You can either leave the baby spinach raw or cook it down for several minutes. The wrap tastes good either way!
- Feel free to add your own twist to these egg white wraps. Try adding sun-dried tomatoes, avocado slices, roasted red pepper or whatever you’re feeling!
- This recipe only makes one wrap. Feel free to make a double batch (or triple or quadruple it) for meal prep!
Storage Guidelines
These salmon wraps can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container or wrapped in saran wrap or foil for up to two days. You’ll want to make sure that you consume the thawed smoked salmon within 48 hours.
Recipe FAQs
You can either use the whites from whole eggs and separate the egg yolks from the whites, or you can use pasteurized egg whites from the carton. I tend to like to use the egg whites in the carton so the yolks don’t go to waste.
Yes, you can add in other vegetables if you’d like. Roasted or steamed asparagus, roasted red pepper or sliced avocado would also taste great in these wraps!
Yes, these are great for make ahead breakfasts or lunches. Wrap them tightly with plastic wrap or place in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
No, I wouldn’t recommend it. Since smoked salmon is generally sold frozen and will be thawed for the purpose of these wraps, it’s recommended that you don’t refreeze it again for overall food safety.

Mmmm. This smoked salmon wrap looks so scrumptious! I love the combination of all your ingredients, so, I’ll be making your recipe as is! Isn’t it funny when we get a memory of something we’ve eaten before that we simply HAVE to attempt to make? And it’s extra fun when it comes out how we remember it.
