I have a confession. McDonald’s breakfast food….especially their breakfast burritos and sausage egg mcmuffins are some of my favorite foods. And while I rarely eat them, I’m embarrassed to say that I really do love them.
Now that I’m having such a busy summer I thought I better start eating breakfast (not McDonalds) and of course keep it rather low carb or Paleo so no regular tortilla wraps. Therefore I’ve come up with this keto egg wraps recipe that is the perfect gluten free, low carb and high protein breakfast!
The nice thing about these homemade egg wraps is that they are so easy to make and you could fill them with any flavorful combination you would in a traditional wrap. It’s a bit like a flour tortilla and you can use it as a sandwich wrap! These are great for a lite low carb meal in the summer time.
Recipe ingredients I used and substitutions.
The simple ingredients I used for this keto friendly recipe are fresh herbs, eggs, turkey slices and cheddar cheese. The meats and cheeses are my favorite fillings but below I offer other options.
Fresh Herbs
I used what fresh herbs I had in the garden which were some parsley, thyme and basil. You can use whatever fresh herbs you want and have on hand. You can also eliminate them if you want but they do add extra flavor. You can also try some optional seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder or hot pepper flakes for heat.
Turkey Slices
Turkey lunchmeat is low in calories, fat, carbs but high in protein. Chicken lunchmeat is very similar. You can really use just about any lunchmeat you want and would normally use in a sandwich.
Cheddar Cheese
I tried this with sliced cheddar cheese and found it was much easier to use shredded cheese because it will melt faster and you can cover the whole area of the wrap easier. You can also use Swiss, gouda, mozzarella, Monterey Jack or any other shredded cheese as well as goat cheese or feta cheese.
Eggs
I used the whole egg to make these egg wraps but you can also skip the egg yolks and just use the egg whites. You might want to use two eggs per egg white wrap though.
How to make keto egg wraps.
While you can buy a pack of keto friendly wraps in the grocery store these days, these are so easy to make and much less expensive.
Step 1: Get out a small omelet pan or non-stick skillet. Heat it over medium heat. Then spray the pan with non-stick spray. You can also use a teaspoon butter or olive oil if you want but I was trying to keep the calories down.
Step 2: In a small bowl beat an egg and add the minced fresh herbs and a pinch of salt and black pepper if you want. Mix well and the pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet. You can also use a blender, immersion blender or food processor to beat the egs. I used fresh herbs but you could use dried herbs or seasoning, just make sure to use less.
TIP:
The ratio of dried to fresh herbs is 1 teaspoon dried = 3 teaspoons fresh.
Step 3: Swirl to coat the whole surface of the non-stick skillet. Once it starts to set, swirl again to get the liquid from the middle out into the edges.
Step 4: When it seems sturdy enough to flip (about 1-2 minutes) do so. I like to use a rubber spatula for this. Next sprinkle your cheese on top while the bottom finishes setting.
Step 5: Slide it off the pan and you have your cheesy egg wrap. You don’t have to use the cheese this way, you can add it at the end. I just like mine melted.
Now you can add the turkey or whatever else you want in this delicious wrap. Roll it up and slice in half. You can also add condiments like mustard, mayonnaise, hot sauce or whatever you want.
Store leftover wraps in an airtight container. If you make a few of these you can place wax paper between then and just microwave for a few seconds to reheat them.Please scroll down to view the printable recipe card.

We have used this technique so many times the past couple years that this has become a go to in our household. My favorite one at the moment is dill and garlic egg; rolled with hummus, feta, and sauerkraut; served with herbed yogurt. My kids add lunch meats and no sauerkraut but still a preferred wrap as compared to lettuce or collards. Tip: these store great in the fridge with parchment or even towels to keep them separated. Then take out what you need and prepare for a fast meal. Thank you again for a wonderful and flavorful idea!
Denise
Hi Jessica, great ideas! Thanks for sharing….I also use these egg wraps to make lasagna or just cut them into strips and eat as pasta. Here are two recipes if you are interested. I’m going to have to try your parchment paper idea!

This looks wonderful! Do you know if these would freeze okay? I’m not a morning person and would love to make something ahead of time and just pop it in the microwave to warm up. Thanks!
Denise
Yes I think they would though I have never done it. I will try to make some today and freeze for tomorrow and let you know. I think the trick would be not to cook them very long in the microwave. I’ll get back to you tomorrow.
Denise
Hi,
I made a wrap and froze it in waxpaper and it reheated fine. I put it in for 1 minutes which was a bit much
but it was good. Hope that helps!
