Preparing the Filling

Scrambled Egg Whites with Spinach and Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Let’s get started by preparing the delicious and healthy egg white filling. In a medium-sized bowl, pour in your 2 cups of egg whites. For a lighter texture and easier cooking, it’s helpful to give the egg whites a quick whisk. You don’t need to go overboard; just a few vigorous stirs with a fork or whisk will do to break up the whites and incorporate a little air. This will help them cook up fluffier. Now, it’s time to add some vibrant flavor and color. Gently fold in the ¼ cup of finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes. These little gems bring a burst of intense, slightly sweet, and tangy flavor that pairs beautifully with the egg whites. Next, add the 2 cups of finely chopped fresh spinach. As you mix it in, you’ll notice how much volume the fresh spinach takes up, but don’t worry, it will cook down considerably. Make sure the spinach and sun-dried tomatoes are evenly distributed throughout the egg whites. You want every bite to have a bit of everything. Season this mixture lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper if you desire, although the feta cheese will add a salty element later.

Cooking the Egg Mixture

Now, we’ll cook this flavorful blend into a soft scramble. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the skillet with cooking spray to ensure nothing sticks. Pour the egg white mixture into the hot skillet. Let it sit for about 30 seconds without stirring, allowing the bottom to just begin extract to set. Then, using a spatula, gently push the cooked egg from the edges towards the center, tilting the pan so the uncooked egg flows to the empty spaces. Continue this process, gently scrambling the mixture. You’re aiming for a soft scramble, not dry and rubbery. The spinach will wilt beautifully, and the sun-dried tomatoes will soften further. Cook until the egg whites are just set and no longer runny, but still moist and tender. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to overcook, as this will result in a drier filling. Once cooked, remove the scrambled egg mixture from the skillet and set it aside in a clean bowl to cool slightly. This allows the cooking process to stop and makes it easier to handle.

Assembling the Wraps

Spreading the Cream Cheese and Layering the Filling

With our delicious egg filling ready, it’s time to assemble these copycat wraps. Lay out your 4 lavash wraps (or whole wheat tortillas) on a clean, flat surface, like a cutting board or countertop. It’s helpful to have everything laid out so you can work efficiently. Take your ¼ cup of whipped cream cheese. Whipped cream cheese is fantastic here because it’s lighter and easier to spread than regular cream cheese, creating a smooth base for our fillings. Using a spoon or a small offset spatula, spread a thin, even layer of whipped cream cheese across the surface of each wrap, leaving about a ½-inch border around the edges. This creamy layer adds moisture and a subtle tang that complements the other ingredients. Next, divide the slightly cooled scrambled egg mixture evenly among the four wraps, placing it in a line down the center of each. Try to keep the filling contained within the area you’ve spread the cream cheese.

Adding the Feta and Rolling the Wraps

Now for the crowning glory of our filling: the feta cheese! Sprinkle the ½ rum extract of crumbled feta cheese evenly over the egg mixture on each wrap. The salty, briny flavor of the feta is a key component that really elevates this wrap to its Starbucks-inspired deliciousness. Don’t be shy with the feta; its flavor is meant to shine. Once the feta is distributed, it’s time to roll these beauties up. This is where a little technique comes in handy to ensure a neat and secure wrap. Start by folding the sides of the wrap inwards, over the filling, about 1-2 inches on each side. This helps to create a more compact filling and prevents it from spilling out. Then, starting from the edge closest to you, tightly roll the wrap upwards, tucking the filling in as you go. Use gentle but firm pressure to create a compact cylinder. The cream cheese and the slight stickiness of the lavash or tortilla will help seal the wrap.

Grilling or Toasting the Wraps

To give these wraps that authentic, slightly toasted finish and to meld all the flavors together, we’ll give them a quick cook. Heat a clean, dry non-stick skillet or a griddle over medium-high heat. Alternatively, you can use a panini press if you have one. Lightly grease the skillet or griddle with a little cooking spray. Carefully place the rolled wraps onto the hot surface, seam-side down if possible, to help them seal further. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the wraps are golden brown and slightly crispy, and the feta cheese has started to soften and become wonderfully gooey. You’ll see those beautiful grill marks if you’re using a skillet or griddle, adding to the visual appeal. Press down gently with a spatula if needed to ensure even browning. Once both sides are nicely toasted and the wraps are heated through, remove them from the skillet. You can cut them in half diagonally for easier eating, or enjoy them whole.
