If you’ve got little ones or simply love playful food, these mummy wraps are a fantastic way to make your morning special. Plus, they’re quick to make, budget-friendly, and packed with protein. Let’s dive into this recipe and wrap up some delicious fun!
Ingredients You’ll Need
For 4 mummy wraps:
- 4 large tortillas
- 6 eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 black olive slices (for eyes)
- 1 tablespoon sour cream or cream cheese (to “stick” the eyes)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the eggs
Crack the eggs into a bowl, whisk with milk, salt, and pepper until smooth. Heat butter in a pan, pour the egg mixture, and gently scramble until fluffy. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 2: Assemble the filling
Lay a tortilla flat and place scrambled eggs in the center. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
Step 3: Create the mummy look
Cut another tortilla into thin strips. Lay the strips across the filled tortilla in a crisscross pattern, leaving a small gap near the top for the “face.” Fold the bottom up and sides in to secure the filling.
Step 4: Add the mummy eyes
Use tiny dots of sour cream or cream cheese to “glue” two olive slices near the top opening to create eyes.
