The breakfast wrap, a culinary chameleon, can accommodate just about any ingredient you have on hand for a quick, portable, and satisfying meal. This version features classic fillings like cheese, ham, and mustard, wrapped in a perfectly cooked egg.
The breakfast wrap has a long and storied history, dating back to the early days of human civilization. The first wraps were likely made by nomadic tribes who needed a way to transport their food on the go. These early wraps were probably simple affairs, consisting of meat, cheese, and vegetables wrapped in a piece of bread or leather. Over time, the wrap evolved into a more sophisticated dish, with fillings ranging from simple to complex and wrappers ranging from flour tortillas to rice paper. Today, the breakfast wrap is a popular meal all over the world, enjoyed by people of all ages.

Why It Works
The nonstick skillet ensures that the egg cooks evenly and prevents it from sticking.
Cooking the egg over medium heat allows it to cook through without burning.
Placing the cheese on one half of the egg and topping it with the ham ensures that the cheese melts evenly.
Folding the egg over the filling and cooking it for an additional minute or two melts the cheese and seals the wrap.
Spreading mustard on the inside of the wrap adds flavor and helps to hold the wrap together.
Seasoning the wrap with salt and pepper to taste enhances the flavor of the fillings.
