Home Page > Kitchen and Cuisine > Recipes

Serve your scrambled eggs in a healthy wrap with spinach, cheese, and bacon for a modern twist on a classic breakfast item: eggs. Kids of all ages will love the breakfast wrap. It's also great on the go. Add more vegetables for a lunch meal.

Prep Time: 15 minutes, Cook Time: 8 minutes

Serves: 6

Ingredients

8 eggs

1/4 tsp (1 ml) each salt and pepper

1/4 cup (50 ml) each finely chopped onion and bacon

1/2 cup (125 ml) Heinz Tomato Ketchup

1 1/2 cups (300 ml) baby spinach leaves

1 cup (250 ml) shredded reduced fat Cheddar cheese

6 small whole-wheat pocket pitas

Preparation

Whisk the eggs with the salt and pepper, reserve. Heat a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and bacon. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until onions and bacon are browned.

Pour in the eggs. Cook, without stirring for 1 minute. Cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes or until just set. Remove from the heat.

Use a small knife to cut halfway around the outside edge of each pita, fold back the top flap. Spread an equal amount of the ketchup all over the inside of each pita. Lay a portion of spinach over the ketchup. Top with a portion of the scrambled egg mixture, sprinkle with cheese.

Tuck the top flap of each pita inside, directly over the filling. Tightly roll the loose flap over the outside of each pita to completely enclose filling. Let stand for 5 minutes to soften cheese before serving.

Twists

Twist 1: For family fun, involve the kids in the filling and rolling of the wraps.

Twist 2: For sandwiches on the go, wrap each pocket tightly in foil to keep warm.

Twist 3: For extra nutrients, stir a handful of chopped veggies such as peppers, cooked broccoli or corn into the onion and bacon mixture before scrambling the eggs.

Twist 4: Use the freshest pitas available to avoid cracks and breaks in the pocket.
