Recipe Ingredients

  • 6 eggs

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 4 whole-wheat wraps
  • 4 thin slices ham (preferably Black Forest ham), dried well
  • 2 cups baby arugula

How To Make Giada Greens, Eggs, and Ham Wrap

Make the Egg Salad

  1. Hard-Boil Eggs: Get those eggs boiling on high heat, then turn off the heat, and let them sit under a lid for 9 minutes to set. Drain, chill in an ice bath, and peel. Chop those bad boys.
  2. Mix the Egg Salad: Combine chopped eggs, mayonnaise, dill, and mustard in a bowl. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold everything together—no more chunky bits!

Assemble Wraps

  1. Layer and Roll: Place a slice of ham near one end of each wrap, followed by a handful of arugula and a portion of egg salad. Pull half the wrap over the egg, fold the bottom, and keep rolling to create a neat, sealed package. Wrap in plastic wrap.

Recipe Tips

  • Egg-stra Flavorful Variations: Add some excitement to your wrap by incorporating other ingredients, such as diced bell peppers, chopped fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro, or even a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, to enhance the flavor profile and create a fresh twist on the original recipe.
  • Spice It Up with Spicy Ham: Swap out traditional ham with a spicy version, such as prosciutto or serrano ham, to add a bold and savory element to the dish, which complements the rich flavors of the eggs and greens while creating a delightful contrast of flavors and textures.
  • Make-Your-Own Greens Blend: Create a personalized blend of greens by combining your favorite leafy herbs and greens, such as arugula, spinach, and kale, to add a distinct character to the wrap and experience the varied flavors and textures each green brings to the table.
  • Freezer-Friendly Wrap Filling: Prepare the egg and ham filling in advance, portion it into airtight containers or freezer bags, and store in the freezer for up to 2 months, allowing you to assemble and cook the wrap quickly on a busy day, while maintaining the same freshness and flavor as a newly prepared meal.
  • Lighter and Crisper Tortilla Option: Opt for a lighter and crisper whole wheat or whole grain tortilla to reduce calorie content, enhance the crunch of the wrap, and create a better balance of textures with the soft, cheesy eggs and the fresh, crunchy greens, while providing a more wholesome dining experience.

Recipe FAQs and Variations
