Pin It I stumbled onto this technique one chaotic morning when I was trying to make scrambled eggs but accidentally hit the blender button instead of whisk. The eggs came out frothy and airy, and I decided to cook them like a crepe out of curiosity. That happy accident has completely changed how I think about breakfast wraps.
My roommate walked in while I was making these and looked genuinely confused by the cloud-like egg mixture in the blender. After one bite of the finished wrap, she immediately took out her phone to film the process, and now she makes them at least twice a week. They have that rare quality of feeling fancy while being incredibly simple.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs: The blender creates incredible volume, making fewer eggs feel more substantial and creating that signature airy texture
- 2 tablespoons water or milk: Just enough liquid to help the blender work its magic and keep the crepe tender
- Pinch of salt and pepper: Essential seasoning that makes the egg flavor pop
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or butter: Just a light coating keeps the crepe from sticking without adding greasiness
- Your choice of fillings: Spinach, smoked salmon, feta, tomato, avocado, or fresh herbs work beautifully
Instructions
- Blend until frothy:
- Combine eggs, water or milk, salt, and pepper in a blender and run on high for 30-45 seconds until the mixture looks like a golden cloud
- Heat the pan:
- Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat and brush it lightly with olive oil or butter
- Cook the first crepe:
- Pour half the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting immediately to coat the bottom in a thin even layer
- Flip and finish:
- Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges lift easily, then carefully flip and cook for 30 more seconds
- Repeat and fill:
- Make the second crepe with remaining egg mixture, then arrange fillings down the center of each
- Roll and serve:
- Fold or roll up the crepes to enclose the fillings and serve them warm
Pin It I served these at a casual brunch when my sister was visiting, and she kept asking what made the texture so incredibly light. The blender step feels almost like a secret technique, but the results speak for themselves.
Choosing Your Fillings
The beauty of these egg crepes is how completely customizable they are. I have found that softer ingredients like avocado and crumbled cheese work particularly well because they meld into the warm egg. Fresh herbs added right before rolling make everything taste brighter and more finished.
Sweet or Savory
While I typically make these savory, they are equally delicious filled with berries and yogurt for a sweet breakfast. The egg crepe itself is neutral enough to go either direction, so let your mood or what is in your fridge guide you.
Make Ahead Tips
The blended egg mixture actually keeps well in the refrigerator for a day if you want to do the prep work ahead of time. The cooked crepes reheat beautifully in a warm skillet for about 30 seconds per side.
- Stack cooked crepes between parchment paper to prevent sticking
- Warm fillings like ham or smoked salmon taste best when added to hot crepes
- Keep delicate fillings like fresh herbs on top so they do not wilt
Pin It These wraps have become my go-to when I want something that feels special but requires minimal effort. They are proof that sometimes the best discoveries happen completely by accident.
