Ham and Egg Wrap with Herbs {easy lunch idea!}
Easy, healthy and protein-packed, this ham and egg wrap with herbs makes the perfect lunch. It would be a great breakfast too!
I tend to get in lunch ruts so it is really nice to mix things up a bit. This egg wrap seems to be something I just keep coming back to. Especially if I didn’t have eggs for breakfast. I love eggs and could probably eat them three times a day if I didn’t have to worry about things like cholesterol.
About this ham and egg wrap
This wrap is SO good, you guys! I love the combination of scrambled eggs with the salty ham, a little cheese (gotta have cheese!) and then topped with crispy greens with fresh herbs.
So much flavor already in this wrap! What really takes it over the top is a thin layer of chive and onion cream cheese which gets kind of melty from the heat of the scrambled eggs.
I could eat this ham and egg wrap every day!
How to make this recipe your own
As with all my recipes, it would be so easy to customize this wrap based on what you have in the house or what you’re in the mood for any given day.
I pretty much always have a package of wraps in my house because I love them for quick lunches or dinners. You could also use soft wheat tortillas or other wraps. A spinach wrap would be cool.
These ham and egg wraps with herbs would be great vegetarian — just leave the ham out! Or if you don’t have the greens with herbs mixed in, you can easily add whatever herbs you love or have in your fridge. I used provolone cheese but any type of cheese would be fantastic!
I wouldn’t omit the cream cheese spread, though…and please make it the chive and onion. It takes this egg wrap to magical places.
If you prefer a cold wrap, maybe for a lunch box, make an egg salad wrap. Simply layer the egg salad, ham, cheese, and greens on the wrap, and roll it up. Delicious!

This is good :)
I literally have been eating eggs for lunch almost every day of this pregnancy! I’ve never tried flatout bread and had no idea it was a Michigan company! So cool. Thanks for the shawarma shout out!
Sounds yummy, Rachel! I’ll have to look for the wraps and give them a try.
I could eat this everyday too! This is a perfect quick lunch when you’re a momma on the run!
I’m an egg eating machine lately, well all pregnancy. I want this wrap for lunch!! Looks sooo good.
Thanks for the mushroom wrap love! :)
I’m definitely with you on the eggs – I could eat them morning, noon and night. My phone-it-in dinner is often breakfast tacos with bacon, smashed tater tots, and scrambled eggs. That being said, I think this wrap would be amazing with or without the eggs! You had me at cream cheese.
This is my kind of lunch. I love wraps!
wow!
