Our Star Recipe: Spinach, Avocado, and Bacon Egg Wraps
Okay, let’s get to the good stuff – the recipe! This is not just any recipe; it's a ticket to a flavor fiesta. We’re combining the creamy richness of avocado, the salty crunch of bacon, and the vibrant greens of spinach, all nestled inside a delicate egg wrap. You'll be amazed how easy it is to whip up!
Ingredients:
- 8 large, happy eggs
- ½ cup of your favorite dairy-free milk (or half and half if you prefer)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (because everything is better with garlic!)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (for that smooth texture)
- Sea salt and black pepper to taste (don't be shy!)
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided (for cooking those golden wraps)
- 8 strips of thick-cut vegan bacon (or regular bacon for those who prefer it)
- 3 cups baby spinach (for that healthy kick)
- 1 ripe avocado, thinly sliced (for creamy deliciousness)
- 1-2 teaspoons of your favorite hot sauce (optional, for the brave hearts)
Let's Get Cooking!
- Whisk it Real Good: In a large bowl, whisk together your eggs, dairy-free milk, garlic powder, and olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper. Give it a good mix until it’s smooth like a baby's bottom.
- The Great Egg Flip: Melt half a tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour one quarter of the egg mixture into the skillet. Swirl the pan to make sure the bottom is covered. Reduce the heat a little, cover the skillet, and cook for 3-4 minutes until set. This is not a pancake, so don't overcook. It is delicate and needs gentle love.
- Repeat After Me: Transfer the egg wrap to a plate and repeat until all batter is used up.
- Bacon Time: In another skillet, cook your vegan bacon until it's crispy. Remove and put on paper towels to absorb any excess oil. In the same pan, leave one tablespoon of the vegan bacon grease, and sauté the baby spinach. Cook till wilted, just about 2 minutes, add salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble Your Masterpiece: Lay out your egg wraps, top with the spinach, two strips of vegan bacon and avocado. Finish with a dash of hot sauce if you like. Fold the wrap if you wish.
- Devour and Repeat: Your keto-friendly egg wraps are ready to be enjoyed. We know it is going to be delicious!
