Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large egg whites preferably fresh
  • 1 pinch salt to enhance flavor
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil for cooking
  • a handful fresh herbs (chives or parsley) chopped

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet
  • Silicone spatula
  • Small bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Separate the egg whites into a small bowl and whisk lightly until just combined, creating a slightly frothy mixture.
  2. Heat the non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add a tiny splash of olive oil, swirling to coat the surface evenly.
  3. Pour the whisked egg whites into the skillet, tilting gently to spread into a thin, even layer about 8 inches in diameter. You should hear a gentle sizzle as it hits the hot surface.
  4. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges turn golden and lift slightly away from the pan, with the top becoming opaque and slightly shimmering.
  5. Use the spatula to carefully slide underneath the wrap. If it releases easily without sticking, flip it gently to cook the other side for another 30 seconds until golden and set.
  6. Slide the cooked wrap onto a plate, then sprinkle with chopped herbs and a pinch of salt for extra flavor. Let it sit for 30 seconds to firm up slightly.
  7. Fill the center with your favorite ingredients—crisp vegetables, cheese, or meats—and gently fold or roll the wrap around them.
  8. Serve immediately while warm, with a side of your choice or a drizzle of sauce for added flavor.

Notes

For an extra crispy edge, cook a little longer until edges are deeply golden. Feel free to customize with your favorite herbs and fillings for endless variations.
