Ingredients
Egg Bake
- 8 eggs
- 150 g cottage cheese (⅔ cup)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 200 g frozen spinach, thawed and drained (1 cup)
- 20 g fresh parsley or dill, finely chopped (⅓ cup)
- 80 g feta, crumbled (½ cup)
Wrap Assembly
- 4 tortillas
- Oil for brushing
- Sesame seeds for sprinkling
Instructions
- Prepare the spinach: Thaw the frozen spinach completely and squeeze out as much excess water as possible to avoid a soggy mixture.
- Mix eggs and cheese: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and black pepper until the ingredients are fully combined and smooth.
- Add spinach and herbs: Stir in the well-drained spinach, finely chopped fresh parsley or dill, and crumbled feta cheese until evenly incorporated.
- Bake the egg mixture: Pour the mixture into a greased or lined 20cm square baking tin and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 30 minutes or until the center is fully set and firm to the touch.
- Cool and portion: Allow the baked egg to cool completely before cutting it into 4 equal squares for easy wrapping.
- Assemble the wraps: Place one square of the cooled egg bake in the center of each tortilla. Fold the sides inward to form a sealed wrap.
- Crisp the wraps: Lightly brush each wrap with oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Air fry at 180°C for 8–10 minutes or alternatively bake in the oven until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Notes
- Be sure to remove excess water from the spinach to prevent sogginess in the egg bake.
- Use fresh parsley or dill according to your preference to add fresh herb flavor.
- You can substitute the tortillas with gluten-free wraps if needed.
- Air frying crisps the wrap quickly, but baking is a good alternative for a similar texture.
- This dish can be served warm or at room temperature, making it perfect for meal prep.
