What happened to Saturday mornings? When my kids were little, the first morning of the weekend meant nothing more than a couple of episodes Scooby-Doo, a load or two of laundry and a leisurely breakfast of pancakes or waffles. Times have changed for us and I’m sure many of you are in the same boat.
Nine o’clock soccer games mean early-bird long runs. Actually, my running partner and I meet on our designated corner before the birds have even considered uttering their first tweets. A long run, a quick shower and a slap-job of makeup to cover up the under-eye bags from the Friday night partying (ha…yeah, right) leaves about ten minutes for breakfast. Pancakes and waffles are not happening.

Sometimes a bowl filled with my favorite yogurt parfait will do the trick, but other times the whole family is craving something warm “to go”. Breakfast wraps work perfectly for those mornings.
The night before, whisk together the eggs, chop the spinach and cut the tomatoes in half. In the morning, all you have to do is throw it all together in a pan, scoop the mixture into whole wheat wraps with a little feta cheese and basil, and head to the car. It’s a high-protein, high-fiber breakfast that will keep the whole family fueled up for the morning. Plus, you’ll already have a serving or two of vegetables under your belt before noon.
The recipe:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and water. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes are starting to soften, 1 to 2 minutes.
Stir in the spinach and cook until the spinach is wilted, about 1 minute.
Pour in the egg mixture, salt and pepper, and cook until the eggs are scrambled, stirring occasionally.
Place tortillas on 2 plates and spoon half of the egg mixture down the center of each tortilla leaving room at each end.
Fold in the ends, roll up the tortillas, then cut each wrap in half. Serve.

I love breakfast wraps! This looks delicious!
I make these for breakfast all the time. My favorite wrap is an oat-bran lavash.
Everything in this wrap I LOVE!
These are perfect flavors for me for breakfast. I love it!
On the go or not, I’d love this! Might have to add it into my rotation of breakfast options soon.
I love spinach in scrambled eggs! This egg wrap looks fabulous!
Looks wonderful, and gorgeous photos!
What a delicious meal on the go!!!
This is my favorite wrap ever! Love anything with spinach, tomato & feta!
This is so full of delicious goodness!
Yum! These remind me of the spinach feta wraps at Starbucks. They are one of my favorite things to get when I’m on the go. My sister-in-law and I have mentioned how much we wish we could just make them at home (to save money.) I’m going to give these a try!
This looks so delicious and easy. I love anything to do with eggs and a wrap is just so easy to carry around.
I’m so glad you stopped by my blog because it brought me here. So many gorgeous things that I have to make!
Love that you can make part of it up ahead of time! Breakfast wraps are a favorite around here, I’ll be adding these to the menu soon!
What a wonderful and filling breakfast.
My first thought when I saw this post was that I finally had a recipe to try to match my favorite Starbucks breakfast wrap. (Which is particularly useful as, after a recent move, the nearest Starbucks is a 45-minute drive away.) Thank you! : )
These look like a great weekday breakfast as well! I’m curious what brand of whole wheat wraps you like? I’ve been trying to find one that I can enjoy and replace the flour one’s with as we are working on healthier eating in my family, too.
What a delicious way to get some veggies in the morning.
Such a great idea for busy mornings! I wonder if these would freeze well…
I love that it’s a hot breakfast and so easy to make. Delicious too!
I am a savory gal when it comes to breakfast so this looks just right to me!
Such a well rounded meal for any time of day ~ healthy & energy packed!
Sounds delicious for a quick, healthy breakfast!
Mmmmm, this is so my kind of breakfast!!!
Many of your recipes, such as this egg and spinach wrap, Dara, make me want to have lunch at your home every day. I love lunch, I usually eat it late. As always too great job with the photographs.
This is the perfect way to start the day, delish!
Dara,
I hear ya on Saturday mornings, though here it is wheelchair basketball not soccer. I’m kinda happy for the climate controlled environment–my friends have to sit through their kids’ games in all kinds of weather! I get the ‘sitting in cold’ part during sled hockey, but I’ve not experienced precipitation during any of my kids’ sporting events. Yay!
These wraps look like a tasty healthy handy way to get out the door quickly.
Thanks!
I’ll take mine to go. But I guess that’s your point! GREG
That is a tasty looking wrap Dara – – one of my favorite flavor combos too [I have a spinach feta soup on my blog this week just to prove that fact!]
