Egg & Watercress Wraps
A tasty and easy wrap, perfect for the spring and summer months. You and your kids can eat these at any time of the day. These make a hearty breakfast, a nutritious asset to a lunch box or even a filling after-school snack. The eggs, mayo and yoghurt take the peppery edge off the watercress, so this recipe makes it much more child friendly.
Watercress is one of the unsung heroes in nutrition, and is rich in vitamins A, C & E as well as a source of folate, calcium and iron. Eggs provide amino acids and choline, important for focus and concentration as well as learning.
