5-Minute Viral Keto Crispy Feta and Pesto Egg Wraps
If you have been scrolling through social media lately, you have definitely seen the viral crispy feta egg trend. As a Keto food blogger, I knew I had to adapt this savory, crunchy masterpiece for our low-carb lifestyle. This isn't just a breakfast; it is a texture sensation. We are talking about salty feta cheese melted directly in the pan until it forms a golden, crispy crust (frico), combined with the herbaceous punch of basil pesto and a rich, runny egg. By pressing a low-carb almond flour tortilla right onto the cooking egg, we create a seamless, mess-free wrap that is packed with healthy fats and high-quality protein. The feta provides a great source of calcium and essential sodium for electrolyte balance, while the pesto adds a dose of olive oil-based monounsaturated fats. This recipe keeps your blood sugar stable and your taste buds dancing. It is the ultimate 5-minute keto breakfast hack.
The Masterplan
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease if necessary, though the cheese will release oil.
Crumble half of the feta cheese directly into the center of the pan, arranging it into a circle about the size of your tortilla.
Allow the feta to cook for 1-2 minutes until it begins to bubble and the edges turn golden brown.
Place 1 tablespoon of pesto into the center of the frying cheese, then immediately crack one egg directly on top of the pesto.
Season with red pepper flakes. Use a fork to gently break the yolk and swirl it slightly over the whites and cheese.
Place one keto tortilla directly on top of the cooking egg and cheese mixture. Press down gently with a spatula to adhere the tortilla to the egg.
Cover the pan with a lid for 60-90 seconds to help the egg whites set completely.
Once the cheese is crispy and the egg is set, slide a spatula under the cheese crust and flip the whole wrap over.
Let the tortilla side toast for 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
Add avocado slices if using, fold the wrap in half like a taco, and serve immediately. Repeat for the second wrap.
