Classic Peanut Breakfast Wrap with Eggs and Greens
Share
Intro
Peanut sauce at breakfast works best when it is treated like seasoning, not a blanket. In this wrap, soft eggs, wilted greens, and just enough warm peanut sauce come together in layers so every bite stays balanced and clean.
Ingredients
- For the filling: 4 large eggs, 1 tbsp milk or water, 1 tsp neutral oil, 2 packed cups baby spinach, 2 scallions sliced, kosher salt
- For the sauce: 1/4 cup classic-peanut, 1 to 2 tbsp warm water, 1 tsp lime juice
- For assembly: 4 warm flour tortillas or wraps, sliced cucumber, cilantro leaves
Instructions
- Whisk the eggs with the milk and a pinch of salt until just combined. In a separate bowl, loosen the peanut sauce with warm water and lime juice until it is spreadable but still rich; it should ribbon off the spoon rather than fall in a solid mound.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the oil. Add the spinach and scallions and cook for 30 to 45 seconds until the spinach just wilts. Transfer them to a plate so the pan does not get crowded when the eggs go in.
- Lower the heat slightly and pour in the eggs. Stir slowly with a spatula, pulling the eggs into soft folds. Stop cooking when they still look moist and glossy in places; they will continue to set from residual heat and from the warmth of the wrap.
- Lay out the tortillas and spread each with a spoonful of the peanut sauce. Divide the eggs, spinach mixture, cucumber, and cilantro among them, keeping the filling centered so the wraps roll tightly without splitting.
- Fold in the sides and roll up firmly. Serve as is or toast seam-side down in a dry skillet for 30 seconds to help the wraps hold and add a little structure.
Why This Works
Using the peanut sauce as a controlled layer instead of mixing it directly into the eggs keeps the wrap rich but not muddy, with freshness from cucumber and herbs to cut through it.
