Instructions

  1. Step 1: Bring a medium saucepan of water to a rolling boil. Carefully lower 4 large chicken eggs into the water and boil for exactly 7 minutes for soft-boiled eggs with set whites and slightly runny yolks.
  2. Step 2: While eggs boil, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cups fresh spinach leaves and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted but still bright green. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  3. Step 3: Remove eggs from boiling water and place them in an ice bath for 2 minutes to stop cooking. Peel the eggs carefully.
  4. Step 4: Warm 2 large whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side until pliable.
  5. Step 5: Slice the peeled eggs into halves and divide evenly between tortillas. Top each with the sautéed spinach and 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Step 6: Sprinkle a pinch of 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes over each wrap if desired for a gentle heat.
  7. Step 7: Fold the tortillas into wraps, cut in half, and serve immediately for a filling and fresh breakfast.
