Ingredients
  

For the Egg Wraps
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp butter or olive oil divided, for the pan
For the Filling
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened (120 g)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp fresh chives, chopped divided
  • 8 oz smoked salmon (225 g)
  • 2 tbsp capers, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup baby spinach or arugula

Method
 

Make the Egg Wraps
  1. Crack 2 eggs into a small bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper, whisk until smooth with no streaks of white left.
  2. Heat a 9-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low with a thin coating of butter or oil.
  3. Pour in the eggs and swirl the pan so they spread into a thin, even layer edge to edge.
  4. Cook undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes until the top looks matte and the edges release from the pan on their own.
  5. Slide the egg wrap onto a plate and let it cool for 2 minutes while you repeat with the remaining eggs to make 4 wraps total.
Fill and Roll
  1. Stir the cream cheese with lemon juice and half the chives until smooth and spreadable.
  2. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture over each egg wrap, going all the way to the edges.
  3. Layer smoked salmon, a few capers, spinach, and the remaining chives over the bottom third of each wrap.
  4. Roll each wrap up tightly from the filled edge, like a burrito, pressing gently to seal.
  5. Slice each wrap in half on a diagonal and serve right away.

Notes

  • Cook eggs over medium-low heat only, higher heat browns the edges before the center sets.
  • Rinse capers before using to cut down on excess saltiness.
  • Let egg wraps cool 2 minutes before filling so the cream cheese doesn't melt and slide.
  • Use full-fat cream cheese for the easiest spread, whipped varieties work too.
