Eggs are a great source of protein, and what kid doesn’t love cheese? Mix ‘em up in a wrap and breakfast is served. Here’s a tasty recipe you can make in minutes.

Ingredients:

1 whole wheat (or plain) 10 inch tortilla

1 egg

¼ cup shredded cheese of choice

1 teaspoon chopped dried parsley

1 tablespoon butter

Salt and pepper to taste

Scramble the egg with the cheese in a heated pan with melted butter. Toss in parsley and season with salt and pepper. Once cooked, place the egg scramble in the middle of the tortilla and roll up like a burrito. For a toasty tortilla, slice in half and place back inside the pan until each side is golden brown. Serve with ketchup for dipping if desired.

Ingredients:
