Ingredients
For the Wraps
- 4 large lavash wraps or large whole wheat tortillas
- 2 cups liquid egg whites
- 2 teaspoons butter or olive oil
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach, roughly chopped
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained
- ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Optional Add-Ins
- Fresh basil
- Diced roasted red peppers

Ingredient Notes
Lavash Bread
Lavash creates the authentic café-style wrap because it’s thin, flexible, and crisps beautifully. Large burrito-size tortillas are an excellent substitute.
Egg Whites
Egg whites provide lean protein while keeping the wrap light. If you prefer, replace some of the egg whites with whole eggs for a richer flavor.
Spinach
Fresh baby spinach wilts quickly and adds vitamins, minerals, and beautiful color.
Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes provide the best flavor and remain tender after cooking. Drain them well before chopping.
Feta Cheese
Creamy feta gives these wraps their signature tangy flavor. Block feta usually tastes fresher than pre-crumbled varieties.
Cream Cheese
A thin layer of cream cheese creates a creamy texture that balances the salty feta and savory eggs.
Kitchen Equipment
You’ll need:
- Large non-stick skillet
- Mixing bowl
- Silicone spatula
- Cutting board
- Sharp knife
- Measuring cups
- Baking sheet (optional)
- Parchment paper for storage
How to Make Copycat Starbucks Spinach Feta Wrap
Prepare the Spinach
Heat one teaspoon of butter or olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped spinach and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until just wilted.
Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Cook the Egg Whites
Add the remaining butter to the skillet.
Pour in the egg whites and season with salt and pepper.
Cook gently until mostly set, then carefully fold the eggs to create soft layers rather than scrambling them completely.
Remove from the heat.
Assemble the Wraps
Lay each wrap on a clean work surface.
Spread a thin layer of softened cream cheese over the center of each wrap.
Top with:
- Egg whites
- Wilted spinach
- Sun-dried tomatoes
- Crumbled feta cheese
Distribute the filling evenly among all four wraps.
Roll the Wraps
Fold in both sides of the wrap.
Roll tightly from the bottom upward, keeping the filling secure inside.
Toast Until Crispy
Place the wraps seam-side down in a warm skillet.
Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until lightly golden and crispy.
This step helps seal the wrap while creating the signature toasted exterior.
Serve immediately or allow them to cool before storing.
Expert Tips for the Best Wraps
Don’t Overcook the Egg Whites
Cook them until just set. Overcooked eggs become rubbery after reheating.
Drain the Tomatoes
Excess oil can make the wraps soggy.
Use Fresh Feta
Freshly crumbled feta melts slightly and has much better flavor.
Toast Before Storing
Lightly crisping the wraps before refrigerating helps maintain texture when reheated.
Let Them Cool
Cool completely before wrapping for storage to prevent condensation.
Delicious Variations
Mediterranean Wrap
Add roasted red peppers, olives, and oregano.
Southwest Version
Include pepper jack cheese and diced green chilies.
Extra Protein
Add grilled chicken or turkey breast.
Vegetarian Deluxe
Mix sautéed mushrooms and onions with the spinach.
Spicy Breakfast Wrap
Sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes or drizzle hot sauce inside.
