Hello, lovely readers! Al here, back with another delightful recipe to liven up your mornings. Today, I’m excited to share something that my wife and I have been absolutely loving lately—Spanakopita Breakfast Wraps with a Fresh Yogurt Dipping Sauce. It’s a bit of a Greek twist on the classic breakfast wrap, combining some of our favorite flavors into one easy, delicious meal.
Now, weekends in our household are often about taking things slow. We usually have a leisurely breakfast, sip on our coffee, and plan out our day. There’s something about a cozy, homemade breakfast that sets the tone just right. These wraps have become our go-to, especially when we’re in the mood for something a bit different but still incredibly comforting.
### Why Spanakopita, You Ask?
If you’re a fan of the classic Greek spinach pie, Spanakopita, then you’ll know why this is such a hit. There’s nothing quite like the combination of spinach, feta, and fresh dill to make your taste buds dance with joy. Translating these vibrant flavors into a breakfast wrap just makes sense, don’t you think?
### Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s the lineup of ingredients you’ll need to get started. Trust me, each one plays its part perfectly:
– 1 tbsp olive oil
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 200g fresh spinach, chopped
– 100g feta cheese, crumbled
– 4 large eggs
– 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 4 large flour tortillas
– 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
– 1 cup Greek yogurt
– 1 tbsp lemon juice
– 1 tbsp honey
– 1 cucumber, grated and drained
### The Method to the Magic
1. **Prepare the Filling:**
– Start by heating 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they soften up and become fragrant.
– Stir in the minced garlic and let it cook for another minute. Your kitchen should be smelling heavenly by now!
– Toss in the chopped spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes until it wilts. Transfer the spinach mixture to a bowl and let it cool slightly.
2. **Scramble the Eggs:**
– Beat the eggs in a separate bowl, season them with salt, pepper, and a pinch of ground nutmeg.
– Pour the eggs into the skillet and cook on medium-low heat for about 3-4 minutes, stirring gently until they are scrambled and fully cooked.
3. **Combine the Goodness:**
– Add the scrambled eggs to the bowl with the spinach mixture. Stir in the crumbled feta cheese and fresh dill. The filling should be looking quite irresistible at this point.
4. **Wrap It Up:**
– Lay the flour tortillas out on a clean surface and distribute the spinach, egg, and feta mixture down the center of each.
– Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly to form a wrap.
5. **Cook the Wraps:**
– Wipe the skillet clean and return it to medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and heated through.
6. **Mix the Sauce:**
– While the wraps are cooking, mix together the yogurt dipping sauce. Combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, honey, and grated cucumber in a small mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. **Serve and Enjoy:**
– Slice the wraps in half and serve them warm with the fresh yogurt dipping sauce on the side.
