Confession: I am sooooooo not a morning person. Like, at all. But, one thing that I've always enjoyed doing is getting up to see my hubby off to work with a goodbye kiss and a cooler packed with crazy-good chow for the day. After trying scrambled eggs, hard-boiled eggs, muffins and banana bread, I decided to take a tip from Dunkin Donuts and try making my very own wake-up wraps at home. My hubby is a total routine man, and he loves how easy it is to customize different flavors and combinations of wraps and how simple it is to heat up once he gets to work! I, on the other hand, love them for how easy they make my mornings. Even half-asleep, it takes me less than 5 minutes to whip up a few wraps, and then he has a nice, hot breakfast and I get to make a cup of coffee and settle in to start my day!
I usually make my hubby 2 wraps each morning, one for breakfast and one for a mid-morning-munchies snack. He loves bacon the best, and if you are really in a rush in the morning, you can make your bacon (or other meats) ahead of time and store in an airtight container, or do like I do and find a pre-cooked one that works. With almost endless veggie/meat/cheese combination possibilities, a super quick and easy prep (or the option to make them ahead of time!!) and major portability points, this little breakfast idea will make your mornings way less painful (and way more delicious!)
Homemade Wake-Up Wraps
1 egg or egg white
1 small flour tortilla
1 slice of cheese (your choice, mozzarella and cheddar are my fave!!)
Your choice of meat (sliced ham, bacon, sausage patties, etc) *optional*
Your choice of veggies (finely diced and cooked into your eggs)*optional*
Prep (If eating the wrap now)
1. Put your tortilla in the toaster over with the slice of cheese on top. Toast until edges are crispy/golden brown and cheese is melted. Remove from toaster oven and place on a plate.
2. While the tortilla is cooking, prepare your meat according to package directions and place on one half of the wrap.
3. Cook egg whatever style you like, salt and pepper to taste. Add in any diced veggies you may want.
4. Add cooked egg to the wrap, fold in half and enjoy!
Prep (If making the wrap ahead of time)
1. On a square piece of foil, place tortilla with one slice of cheese and choice of meat (cook if raw, or use pre-cooked for a faster option!)
2. Cook egg whatever style you like, salt and pepper to taste. Add in any diced veggies you may want.
3. Add cooked egg to the wrap, fold in half and wrap carefully in foil.
4. When it is time to eat the wrap, simply open foil, open wrap so that it lies flat and heat in a toaster oven until golden brown/cheese is melted or heat in the microwave until hot all the way through.
Don't be afraid to experiment and try out new options with your wraps! Try them with egg whites for a healthier option, and a variety of diced up veggies, meats and cheeses to try a new wrap every day! :)
What simple breakfast options do you love to whip up on your busy mornings?
