In this article, I’ll be showing you how to make a keto breakfast cheese wrap that is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. So, let’s get started!
What is a keto diet?
The keto diet is a low-carb, high-fat eating pattern. It works by forcing the body to use fat for energy instead of glucose from carbohydrates. The goal is to get the body into a state of nutritional ketosis, where the body breaks down fat instead of glucose for energy.
If you follow a traditional diet, your body converts carbohydrates from foods like grains and starches into glucose and uses this as its main source of fuel. On a keto diet, however, your body uses fat – either from fatty foods in your diet or from stored body fat – for energy and doesn’t rely on carbs for fuel. This can help you lose weight quickly and keeps you leaner and more energetic throughout your day.
A typical day on a ketogenic diet includes:
- Eggs with cheese, bacon and other healthy fats
- Low-carb vegetables like avocados
- Nuts and seeds
- Fish or seafood
- An occasional snack or piece of dark chocolate throughout the day.
A good breakfast choice on the keto diet might be a cheese wrap – using egg whites combined with cheese rolled up in an omelet-like wrap that can be eaten as an on-the-go breakfast or snack!
Benefits of a keto diet
The keto diet has been popular among a wide range of people for many years, and for good reason. It’s a low-carb, high-fat diet that helps to reduce body fat and promote good health. When following a ketogenic diet, your body will be using fat as its main source of fuel instead of carbohydrates. This can lead to numerous benefits, such as weight loss, improved mental clarity and energy levels, reduced inflammation and much more.
The primary benefit of following a keto diet is that it causes your body to switch from burning carbs for energy to burning fat. This metabolic process is known as “ketosis” and has several potential health benefits including weight loss, increased energy levels and improved mental clarity. Additionally, by reducing the amount of carbs in your diet you may be able to decrease inflammation and improve insulin sensitivity in the body. This can have beneficial effects on numerous health markers associated with metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes.
Adopting a healthy ketogenic lifestyle can also help with satiety which may lead to fewer cravings throughout the day. Furthermore, it may also increase physical performance in activities such as running or weightlifting since your body will be using a different fuel source for energy production. Additionally, the keto diet has become well-known for its positive psychological effects on moods due to the reduction in processed sugars from complex carbohydrates found in many foods we consume today. Finally, by reducing high glycemic index foods from our diets we can reduce our risk factors for numerous chronic diseases including cancer.
Ingredients
Are you looking for an easy, keto-friendly breakfast? Look no further than this delicious keto breakfast cheese wrap. It takes only minutes to prepare, and it’s a great way to start your day right. You will need some key ingredients to make the wrap: cheese, eggs, and some seasonings. Let’s get started!
Cheese
Cheese is a great option for low-carb and keto breakfasts. While there are several types of cheese you can use, your best bet is to stick with some variety of real cheese like cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan, or Monterey Jack. They all contain high amounts of protein and fat while having very little in terms of carbs or sugar.
If you’re looking for something that adds a bit more flavor to your wrap – try using smoked gouda or brie for added complexity and texture. The same goes for cream cheese. While it does have more carbs than other cheeses – its flavor profile is perfect for breakfast wraps when combined with flavorful meats and vegetables like bacon, spinach and peppers.
Just be sure not to overdo it; too much cheese can be a major carb-overload and defeat the purpose of eating a healthy breakfast! Some people even opt to skip the cheese altogether if they want something lighter in terms of fat content (although it will still provide plenty of protein).
Eggs
I’m often partial to a good egg for breakfast. For this keto breakfast cheese wrap, I like using one large egg. Depending on how big your tortilla is, you may opt for two eggs instead.
You want to start by cracking your egg into a shallow dish or bowl and whisking until the yolk and whites are combined. Heat some oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and pour the whisked eggs into the pan. Stir every few seconds as it cooks so it doesn’t form clumps, then season with salt and pepper. Once they’re all cooked to your liking, turn off the heat and set aside your scrambled eggs until you’re ready to assemble your cheese wrap.
Wraps
Prepare the wraps by heating them in the microwave for up to 30 seconds or heat them on a stovetop over medium-low heat. Beat the egg and pour it into a nonstick skillet over low heat. When the egg starts to set, stir with a silicone spatula until softly scrambled.
Place the wrap on a plate and top with cheese, scrambled eggs, cooked bacon or sausage, avocado slices and spinach. Wrap like a burrito and enjoy!
Preparation
Ready to make keto breakfast cheese wrap? Here’s what you’ll need to get started: a low-carb egg wrap, shredded cheese, butter, and your favorite keto breakfast toppings. In a few easy steps, you’ll have an absolutely delicious breakfast that’s packed with protein to start your day off right. Let’s get cooking!
Here are the steps to make your delicious keto breakfast cheese wrap:
- Heat the low-carb egg wrap in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the shredded cheese and butter to the wrap.
- Add your favorite keto breakfast toppings.
- Fold the wrap in half and cook for about a minute on each side.
- Serve and enjoy!
Preheat oven
Before we start creating this delicious keto breakfast wrap, let’s preheat the oven so once you’ve prepped the ingredients, you can get this wrap in the oven right away. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Now that it’s warmed up, let’s prepare the wrap!
Grease baking tray
Before you begin baking, it is important to prepare your baking tray by greasing it with oil or butter. Greasing the tray will prevent sticking and make it easier to remove baked goods from the pan when they are done. Depending on what type of bakeware you use, you may need to adjust the amount of grease or oil that you use. Nonstick pans won’t require as much greasing, while older trays may need a heavier coating of grease.
To grease your baking tray, start by melting a tablespoon of butter or heating 1–2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a saucepan or in the microwave. Use a pastry brush to spread the melted liquid evenly onto both sides and edges of your baker before adding your ingredients for baking. When finished greasing, ensure that all surfaces have been fully coated with oil or butter.
Place wraps on baking tray
Once you’ve finished filling the wraps, place them on a greased baking tray. You can line the tray parchment paper for easier clean up if you wish. Bake the wraps for about 20 minutes at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Flip them occasionally so that both sides of each wrap are cooked evenly. The wraps should be lightly browned and crispy when done.
Serve immediately, or store in a sealed container at room temperature for later enjoyment.
Crack eggs into wraps
I like to crack the eggs into a bowl, mix them together and then pour them into the wrap. This ensures that each egg wrap has some yolk which is essential for flavor and texture. I also like to add some freshly chopped herbs such as oregano or dill for extra flavor. You can also add a pinch of sea salt for taste, although I don’t recommend adding too much as it can overpower your wrap.
Once the eggs are in the wrap, spread out the cheese around the edges so that it lightly covers all of the eggs – this will give you a deliciously cheesy breakfast wrap!
Add cheese
Once your wrap is lightly greased, layer some cheese over the wrap. This adds a nice creamy texture and helps to further bind the wrap together once it’s rolled. I usually use around 1/4 cup of grated cheese, but adjust according to your preference. I always opt for a cheese with good melting properties, such as cheddar or mozzarella. Colby jack works great as well.
Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the middle of wrap in a straight line, then spread across. Make sure everything is evenly spread out before continuing to the next step.
Bake for 12 minutes
Baking the keto breakfast cheese wrap is easy and only takes 12 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Then, take two pieces of gluten-free or low-carb wrap and spread out a tablespoon of cream cheese on each piece. Add the desired fillings (chopped vegetables, pesto, bacon, etc) onto one side of the creamed wrap and fold it over the other side to make a pocket shape with all ingredients inside.
Place the pierogi on a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and lightly spray some oil over it so that it doesn’t stick during baking. Bake for 12 minutes until golden brown and crispy. For extra crispiness, you can turn on broil in your oven for an additional 5 minutes, being careful to watch it closely so that they don’t burn. Serve hot with your favorite dip or condiment!
