How To Make Trader Joe’s Egg Wrap Recipe
- Heat and grease the pan: Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Grease with butter or oil.
- Whisk the egg: In a small bowl, crack one egg and mix well with a fork until the yolk and white are fully combined.
- Pour and form the wrap: Pour the whisked egg into the hot pan. Immediately tilt the pan in a circular motion to spread the egg into a large, thin circle, much like a crepe.
- Cook the first side: Let the egg cook for about 30-45 seconds, or until the edges begin to lift and the surface looks mostly set. Sprinkle with seasonings now, if desired.
- Flip and finish: Carefully slide a large spatula under the egg wrap and flip it over. Let it cook for another 30 seconds.
- Cool and fill: Remove the finished wrap from the pan and place it on a plate. Repeat the process for as many wraps as you need. Let them cool slightly before adding your desired fillings, rolling them up, and serving.
Recipe Tips
- How do I keep the egg wrap from tearing? The key is to use a good non-stick skillet and a thin, wide spatula for flipping. Ensure the pan is adequately greased and let the wrap cook long enough on the first side so it’s stable enough to be flipped.
- Can I make these ahead of time? Absolutely. You can cook a batch of these wraps, let them cool completely, and then stack them with a small piece of parchment paper between each one to prevent sticking. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- How do I add more flavor? You can whisk finely chopped fresh herbs (like chives or parsley), a pinch of garlic powder, or your favorite seasonings directly into the egg before pouring it into the pan.
- What’s the best way to get a perfectly round shape? Using a small, 8-inch non-stick skillet helps contain the egg naturally. When you pour the egg, tilt and swirl the pan immediately to let gravity spread it into an even circle.
What To Serve With Egg Wraps
These wraps are a complete meal on their own, but if you’re looking for a side, they pair wonderfully with:
- A simple green salad with a vinaigrette dressing
- A cup of tomato soup
- Fresh fruit slices, like melon or berries
- Cottage cheese
How To Store Egg Wraps
Refrigerate: Once cooled, stack the wraps with parchment paper in between each one. Place them in a zip-top bag or airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freeze: We do not recommend freezing the cooked wraps, as the texture can become rubbery upon thawing.

A rubbery texture is usually a sign of overcooking. These wraps cook very quickly. Stick to about 30-45 seconds per side on medium heat. The residual heat will finish cooking it after you remove it from the pan.

Notes
