Egg wrap


Our new favourite. Egg wrap. Does it have a strong egg taste? We can’t feel it. Ok-ok, we eat PLENTY of eggs, so perhaps we just don’t think about it any-more. But actually I offered it to some friends, who are not paleo, and they didn’t mention that it’s too eggy. They requested some more. :) (My husband and kids thought that it’s pancake and filled it with chocolate cream without realizing that actually they eat omelette with chocolate. :D )
What do you need for 1 wrap?
Basic ingredient:
  • 1 egg
  • 1-2 T spoon water
  • pinch of salt
Optional:
  •  1/2 t spoon coconut floor, or 1/2 t spoon tapioca flour (I prefer this one, it has a more neutral taste) – this gives some thickness to the wrap
  • spices to taste
If you don’t want to use any kind of flour, the simple 1 egg version works perfectly. You can have thicker ones, if you use 1,5 egg per wrap.
  1. Heat your frying pan and smear it with some fat. If you have a good quality pan, then after the first one you don’t have to put a new layer of fat.
  2. Put every ingredients into a mug/bowl and beat it.
  3. Pour the mixture into the hot pan and move round and round the still liquid part to create a nice, evenly thick, but still thin toast/pancake/wrap.
  4. Put it on the hob.
  5. When the edge has peeled off, pinch the edge and flip it to the other side. You can use a pancake spatula to help turning it.
  6. From this point it takes only 10-20 seconds and you can slide it to a plate.
It can be eaten as hot, or cold. I pack it for my daughters for lunch. I store it in the fridge after it cooled down. I make a bigger batch, so I don’t have to do it on a daily bases.
For filling I use mostly salad leaves, spinach, spring onion, red pepper, Hungarian smoked sausage (kolbasz), cooked ham, fried bacon cubes, extra mature cheddar cheese, balsamic vinegar, paleo mayonaise, or whatever I find in the fridge. And as the above example shows, it can be filled with sweet stuff, fruits, creams as well.
Enjoy ;)
