This Starbucks-style Spinach Egg White Wrap is my favorite for mornings when I’m running late but still want something tasty. Soft egg whites, tangy feta, bright spinach, and chewy sun dried tomatoes are all tucked inside a wholesome whole wheat wrap—ready in no time for a real breakfast boost.
I first threw this together when I wanted something lighter than my usual breakfast but couldn’t stand boring eggs. Now it’s my solution every time I need something good to eat in a flash.
Tasty Ingredients
- Olive oil or spray: keeps stuff from sticking and adds just a hint of richness—go easy so it stays light
- Chopped sun dried tomatoes: tangy, chewy bites—pat them dry if they’re oily for the best texture
- Salt and pepper: wake up the flavors—a pinch of sea salt and fresh cracked pepper works wonders
- Chopped spinach: brings a fresh vibe—look for leaves that are still perky and green, not floppy
- Egg whites: light but packed with protein—use fresh from eggs or the poured kind for less mess
- Feta cheese: gives a salty creamy punch—firmer crumbles lay out best, so nothing clumps
- Whole wheat tortilla: hearty and adds fiber—keep them soft and fresh for easy rolling
Easy Steps
- Slice and Enjoy:
- Cut your finished wrap in half so you get all those tasty layers in each bite. Eat right away while it’s warm.
- Toast for Crunch:
- If you like a crunchy finish, place the wrap seam-side down in a hot pan for a couple minutes until crisp and golden.
- Roll Your Wrap:
- Start at the bottom and roll up nice and tight after folding in the sides, so you don’t lose any filling while you eat.
- Assemble the Wrap:
- Lay your tortilla out flat, then go in this order: spinach first, then crumbled feta, toss on the sun dried tomatoes, and last set the log of egg whites on top for the full hit in every bite.
- Wilt the Spinach:
- Toss the chopped spinach into the hot pan, season, then cook for a minute or two just till it’s soft and bright—don’t let it lose color.
- Shape the Egg Whites:
- Once the eggs are set, gently fold the sides in with your spatula two times to make a soft log that’ll fit in your wrap.
- Cook the Egg Whites:
- Turn your pan to medium and grease it lightly. Pour in the egg whites, sprinkle on salt and pepper, then cook without stirring till thickened but still soft—about 4 minutes.
- Prep Your Ingredients:
- Get your eggs ready in a bowl, crumble the feta, clean and chop spinach, blot oil from tomatoes—makes everything easier when it’s time to cook.

Good to Know
- Loads of protein so you won’t get hungry fast
- Keeps calories down but gives you a veggie punch
- Perfect for prepping ahead—reheat in seconds for fuss-free mornings
The spinach totally makes this wrap—gives every bite an earthy freshness. My kids always try to sneak in extra feta on their half, so we end up laughing as we eat together in the kitchen.
How to Store It
Wrap each leftover up in parchment or foil, then keep them in a bag or airtight box in your fridge. They’ll last about three days. Want to save longer? Freeze individual wraps and reheat straight from the freezer in your microwave or toaster oven until heated through.
Other Swaps
No feta? Goat cheese or a sharp cheddar brings a new flavor. Gluten free wraps or spinach wraps work if that’s your thing. Red bell peppers or mushrooms are great extra veggie options or can swap in for spinach if that’s not your favorite.
Tasty Pairings
For a full meal, eat your wrap with a fruit cup or a smoothie. If you’re serving brunch, try it with roasted sweet potatoes or some spicy tomato salsa. For lunch, add a simple green salad tossed in balsamic on the side.

Frequently Asked Questions About Recipes
- → What's the trick to keeping egg whites soft, not chewy?
Keep your pan at medium heat. Turn off the heat when the egg whites still look a little wet—they’ll finish cooking and stay soft.
- → Is it cool to prep these ahead of time?
Yep, you can make and keep them in the fridge. Pop them in the toaster or on a pan before you eat to get that crunch back.
- → What if I want to swap out sun-dried tomatoes?
Go with roasted red peppers, cooked mushrooms, or even fresh tomatoes if you like them better.
- → How do I make sure the spinach doesn’t get too watery?
Just cook the spinach till it wilts, then squeeze or drain off any extra water before it goes in the wrap.
- → Can I boost the protein or swap cheeses?
Definitely! Add turkey sausage, chicken, or try goat cheese or cheddar instead of feta if that’s your jam.
