Sometimes mornings can just get away from you and you start your day with a coffee and that is about all. I love doing meal preps so my week just gets off to a positive start even if I am running late or lacking that bang to get rolling. These high protein wraps are perfect and super simple to make and personalize. I sometimes use a high protein wrap and other times I leave the egg mixture in a Tupperware container in the fridge and just heat it up with a few veggies on the side. I just use a panini press to heat them up in the morning. Super simple.
INGREDIENTS:
-any veggies and or meats that you like for a filler in a scrabbled egg type mixture! I have ideas below for what I use
-10-12 eggs
-cottage cheese - regular or lactose free
-corn start/ flour/arrowroot starch - this is simply to thicken. Any of these work. I like gluten free so I use the arrowroot starch.
-olive oil
-garlic/pepper/lemon and herb - honestly any spices you enjoy. I add hot sauce sometime and or Worchester sauce (small amount)
-cheese - Vegan/lactose free/regular - again your preference here
DIRECTIONS:
First pan to be cooked
-Any fillings you want. I use peppers, mushrooms, beans, yam, spinach, potatoes, turkey bacon, ham. Really anything you like. I chop them up small so they cook well. How much - these are a filler so you can have lots or just a few yummies in there. I am not shy about how much I put in.
-1 tbsp of olive oil
-spices of your choice. I like the garlic, pepper, lemon and herbs. I sometimes add a little a little hot sauce to give it a bang.
Mix this all together and place into a square or rectangular dish. Size depends on how many wraps you want to make. If I am using the square dish it will make 4 to 6 nice size wraps. If I use the large rectangular dish, it nicely will make 8 wraps
-cook this first dish for 15 minutes at 375C
Second pan to be cooked
-Small square pan for the filler above - I will blend 6-8 eggs with 3/4 cup cottage cheese and 1 tbsp corn starch to thicken. I actually use arrowroot start - gluten free. Blend this all up.
-Large rectangular pan for the filler above - I will blend 10-12 eggs with 1 to 11/4 cuprs cottage cheese and 2 tbsp corn start to thicken. Set this off to the side till the first pan is cooked.
-Pour this over the first pan of fillers and mix together. Add a little spice or pepper to the top of this dish. Some people like to add the cheese here on top. I add the cheese when I do the wraps OR cook it up in the morning.
-Oven at 375C and again about 15 minutes. If you put in more fillers - it might need longer, if you cooking the larger dish then probably closer to 20 minutes
-Remove and let cool COMPLETELY
-Cut into rectangles once it is cooled. If you are not using the wraps then just place these in a container and store in the fridge or the freezer for the week. I put my cheese on these when I go to eat it! YUM!!!
-Using the wraps. I use a high protein wrap. You can add a little spread if you want. Then place one rectangle in the middle of the wrap. Sprinke with a little cheese and then wrap it up.
-Use plastic wrap and wrap it up tightly.
-These can be store in the fridge or the freezer. When you are wanting to have one, defrost in the fridge the night before and use the Panini Press and you have an easy high protein delicious yet super quick meal and your set for your day!
