Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 egg whites egg whites preferably fresh from eggs or carton egg whites
  • a pinch salt enhances flavor and aids in even cooking
  • as needed cooking spray cooking spray keeps the egg whites from sticking

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet
  • Spatula
  • Small bowl
  • Whisk
  • Paper towel

Method
 

  1. Gather your non-stick skillet, spatula, small bowl, whisk, and a paper towel for greasing.
  2. Pour 3 to 4 egg whites into the small bowl and gently whisk until just combined. You want them smooth but not overly frothy.
  3. Warm your skillet over medium-low heat (around 160°C / 320°F). Lightly spray the surface with cooking spray or wipe with a paper towel dipped in oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Pour the whisked egg whites into the skillet, tilting it gently to spread into a thin, even layer about 20-25 cm (8-10 inches) across. You should hear a gentle sizzle as they start to set.
  5. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges lift slightly and look set. The bottom should be just starting to turn a light golden color.
  6. Carefully flip the egg white sheet using your spatula. Cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute until both sides are lightly golden and the egg whites are fully set.
  7. Gently lift the cooked wrap from the skillet and place it on a plate. Let it sit for a minute to firm up slightly, making it easier to fold and fill.
  8. Place your favorite fillings—such as crisp vegetables, creamy spreads, or herbs—on one side of the wrap.
  9. Roll the wrap tightly, pressing gently to seal the fillings inside. Slice in half if desired, and serve immediately or wrap for later.
  10. Enjoy your delicate, protein-packed egg white wrap, perfect for a quick snack or light meal!
