Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare Your Scramble Base
Whisk the eggs and milk together in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. Set this mixture aside for now.
2. Sauté the Vegetables
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, chopped onion, and bell pepper, cooking until they soften, about 5-7 minutes. You want them tender and slightly browned.
3. Cook the Eggs and Cheese
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir gently as the eggs begin to set. When the eggs are mostly cooked but still a little moist, fold in the shredded Swiss cheese until it’s melted and creamy.
4. Assemble Your Healthy Breakfast Wraps
Warm your whole wheat tortillas slightly in a dry skillet or microwave. Divide the mushroom and Swiss scramble evenly among the four tortillas. Roll them up tightly to create your delicious wraps.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Serve your Mushroom and Swiss Scramble Wraps immediately. Garnish with fresh chives or parsley if you desire. These make fantastic healthy breakfast wraps to start your day.
Variation Ideas
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
- Include a handful of fresh spinach or kale during the last minute of cooking the scramble.
- Top with a dollop of Greek yogurt or salsa for extra flavor.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftover Mushroom and Swiss Scramble Wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm them gently in a microwave for 30-60 seconds or in a skillet until heated through.
