Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 (8-inch) flour tortilla
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 cup fresh baby spinach and sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted but still vibrant green.
- Step 2: Push the spinach to one side of the skillet and crack 1 large egg into the cleared space. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the white is set and the yolk remains runny.
- Step 3: Warm 1 (8-inch) flour tortilla in a dry pan or microwave for 20 seconds. Place the sautéed spinach and fried egg onto the tortilla, sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the spinach, and fold into a wrap. Serve immediately while warm.

Perfect for a healthy breakfast. Only issue: the wrap was a bit too dry for my taste.

Slightly bland, but the spinach was fresh. Took a bit longer than expected to cook the eggs evenly.
