Spinach Ricotta Breakfast Wraps
Ricotta softens a pita filling of fully set eggs and spinach. It is a warm breakfast pocket rather than a wrap designed to sit for hours in a bag. Cook away the spinach's loose water, warm the bread and bring the filling together just before serving. Keep the eggs soft in texture through gentle cooking, while still cooking them fully.
