How To Make An Egg Wrap
These step-by-step photos and instructions help you visualize how to make this easy egg wrap recipe. See the recipe box below for ingredient amounts and full recipe instructions.
- Crack the eggs into a small bowl. Beat them with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
- Heat an 8-inch skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Pour in the eggs once the butter has melted. As the eggs start to set, use a rubber spatula to lift the edges, allowing any uncooked eggs to flow underneath.
Pro Tip: Treat the eggs like a crepe. After pouring them into the pan, lift and tilt the pan to spread the eggs evenly, then loosen the edges with a spatula before flipping.
- Cook the eggs for 30-60 seconds, or until the edges are set. Flip them gently with a spatula and cook the other side for another 30-60 seconds.
- Place the ham and cheese on top of the eggs while still in the pan, letting the heat melt the cheese. Alternatively, transfer the eggs to a plate first and then add the ham and cheese.
- Roll the egg wrap and enjoy it warm.

You do a very good job with your good recipes. Thank you for helping singles with good eating ideas.
I’m so happy our recipes are helpful.
I’m looking forward to making this recipe. I only have a 10” pan. Can I still make it?
Yes, you can use a 10-inch pan but the eggs may cook faster.
Sounds good, but how is it different from an omelet?
The main difference between an egg wrap and an omelet lies in their structure and how they’re folded. An omelet is a semi-circular, thicker egg dish with fillings folded inside. An egg wrap is a thin egg “pancake”, that’s rolled up like a tortilla with its fillings, making it more portable and easier to eat on-the-go.
Love, love, love your posts.. I am from New Zealand. I have recommended your posts to a lot of my friends who are now on their own but still enjoy cooking. Than you, you have made it fun again.
Thank you so much, Barbara!
Wonderul! I will try some of your suggested variations. I made this is a nonstick pan, but would love to use my 8″ stainless steel pan as shown in your photo. How to you keep your eggs from sticking??
I don’t have trouble with the eggs sticking in my 8-inch pan because I cook them in plenty of butter (1/2 tablespoon). If yours stick, add a bit more butter to the pan.
With stainless steel you have to get it hot, then ad butter and coat the pan then pour in the eggs all as quickly as possible. SS will always stick if you start with cold pan.
Terrific recipe.
