Egg and Merguez Wraps

This high-protein dish is a vibrant fusion of North African flavours and satisfying textures. The combination of spicy, succulent merguez sausage with creamy Greek yoghurt and cooling mint creates a sophisticated savoury profile that elevates the humble flour wrap. Using fresh lemon juice and sliced pickles provides a sharp, zesty contrast to the richness of the sliced boiled eggs, making every bite beautifully balanced.

Perfect as a substantial lunch or a quick evening meal, these homemade wraps are an excellent choice for those seeking a nutritious, protein-packed option that does not compromise on taste. The toasted exterior adds a delightful crunch, while the aromatic herbs and red onion provide a fresh, colourful finish. Serve them immediately while the sausage is still warm and the tortilla is perfectly crisp.

Ingredients for Egg and Merguez Wraps

  • 8 large eggs

  • 240ml plain whole-milk Greek yoghurt

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

  • 1 garlic clove, finely grated

  • Kosher salt

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 450g merguez sausage, casings removed

  • 4 lavash or large flour tortillas

  • 1/2 small red onion, halved, thinly sliced

  • 4 dill pickles, sliced crosswise 1/4" thick

  • 3 cups mint leaves

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Carefully slip in eggs and cook 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl of ice water with a slotted spoon; let cool. Peel eggs, then slice each crosswise into 5 pieces.

Meanwhile, mix yoghurt, lemon juice, and garlic in a small bowl; season yoghurt sauce with salt.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add sausage and press down on it with a wooden spoon or heatproof rubber spatula to flatten; cook, undisturbed, until browned underneath, about 4 minutes. Turn sausage over; break into smaller pieces with spoon. Cook until cooked through and crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer sausage along with drippings to a medium bowl. Reserve skillet.

Lay out lavash on a work surface. Spread 60ml yoghurt sauce over each, leaving a 1" border. Top with sausage, dividing evenly. Top each with 10 egg slices in a single layer, then with red onion, pickles, and mint. Fold in 2 sides of lavash and, starting at an unfolded edge, roll up tightly.

Set reserved skillet over medium heat and cook 2 wraps, undisturbed, until golden brown and starting to crisp underneath, about 2 minutes. Turn over and cook until golden brown and starting to crisp on the other side. Transfer to a cutting board. Repeat with remaining wraps. Cut wraps in half crosswise.
