Ingredients

  • 1 zucchini grated
  • 1 egg
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tbsp potato starch
  • 1 tbsp rice flour
  • For the Filling
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 eggs whisked
  • 60 g smoked salmon
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  • Grate the zucchini and place it into a sieve or clean tea towel.
  • Squeeze out as much moisture as possible to help the wraps hold together.
  • Transfer the zucchini to a mixing bowl.
  • Add the egg, garlic, olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  • Mix well before stirring in the potato starch and rice flour.
  • Divide the mixture into four equal portions on the prepared baking tray.
  • Spread each portion into a thin circle approximately 15cm (6 inches) wide.
  • Bake for 15 minutes until lightly golden and set.
  • Heat the remaining olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
  • Add the whisked eggs and scramble gently until softly cooked.
  • Remove from the heat immediately to prevent overcooking.
  • Top each zucchini wrap with scrambled eggs and smoked salmon.
  • Sprinkle over the fresh chives.
  • Fold the sides of the wraps around the filling and serve immediately.

Notes

Remove Excess Moisture
This is the most important step. Squeezing water from the zucchini helps the wraps become firm enough to fold.
Don't Overcook the Eggs
Soft scrambled eggs work best and create a creamier filling.
Add Extra Vegetables
Spinach, rocket, cucumber, or sliced avocado all make excellent additions.
Use Fresh Herbs
Fresh chives add a bright flavour that pairs beautifully with the smoked salmon.

Storage Tips
The zucchini wraps can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
For best results, prepare the scrambled eggs fresh before serving.
