  4. Slide the wrap onto a plate and repeat the process with remaining ingredients.
  5. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve warm or at room temperature.

Things I’ve Learned

When making these wraps, ensure your skillet is properly heated to prevent sticking. If you find the eggs breaking, try reducing the heat slightly. They store well in the refrigerator for 2-3 days; simply reheat in the microwave or skillet before serving. You can prepare the filling ahead of time for quicker assembly during brunch!
