Level Up Your Breakfast: Beyond the Typical Starbucks Wrap
Ever feel limited by the breakfast options at Starbucks? Craving something more wholesome and packed with flavor? This recipe is your answer!
We've taken inspiration from the classic Starbucks offerings but elevated them to a whole new level. Ditch the processed ingredients and hello to real, whole pasture-raised eggs. These beauties are bursting with nutrients and add a richness you won't find in typical breakfast fare.
Instead of a standard wrap, we've nestled this delicious filling in a homemade ciabatta bun. This light and airy bread, made with your own hands, adds a touch of artisan flair and a delightful textural contrast to the creamy eggs and crispy bacon. But this step is only because I was feeling extra, you can totally go for an easier bread base, like sourdough, whole grain bread or store bought ciabatta.
This recipe isn't just about taste, it's about nourishment. We've packed it with protein from the eggs and bacon, fiber from the fresh spinach which contains essential vitamins.
The result? A breakfast (or anytime!) masterpiece that keeps you feeling energized and satisfied. So skip the pre-made wraps and questionable ingredients, and treat yourself to a breakfast (or lunch!) that's both delicious and good for you!

6Pasture Raised Eggs
4SlicesLean No Sugar Added Bacon
1cSpinach Can use any mixed greens
SprinkleSheep's Milk Fresh Feta Cheese
Hot Sauce I used crystal brand, optional
Instructions
Heat pan to medium high heat
Place the bacon on cold pan and let the bacon cook as it heats up. This will prevent the bacon from shrinking, keeping it nice and flat for building your sandwich
Cook the bacon on each side for about 3 minutes or until crispy
Remove bacon from pan, set aside on a plate with paper towels to absorb excess grease
Crack eggs into a bowl, whisk together and add in salt and pepper.
Pour eggs in the pan with remaining bacon grease and soft scramble until done
Remove eggs from the pan and begin assembling sandwich
Add bacon, eggs, spinach, sprinkle of feta and hot sauce to the ciabatta bread
Option to add avocado here, best if serving fresh.
Don't have homemade ciabatta? No problem! Use a high-quality store-bought whole wheat wrap or whole wheat bread. Toast it lightly for added texture.
Not a fan of bacon? Experiment with turkey bacon, tempeh, or even crumbled sausage for a protein twist.
Want to add more veggies? Sauteed peppers, onions, or mushrooms would be delicious additions to the filling.
Feeling adventurous? Try different cheeses like swiss, gouda or cheddar instead of feta.
Craving a touch of sweetness? A drizzle of hot honey would go nicely on this
Need a spread to add? Try mashed avocado with everything bagel seasoning, (Note: if making these for meal prep, avocado will turn brown, best if served fresh)
