A bit of history
The Lebanese wrap is a classic dish from the Middle East, appreciated for its versatility. Over time, it has become a staple ingredient in many cuisines around the world. It can be used to wrap various fillings, from vegetables to meat. Combined with omelette and chicken ham, it becomes a savory snack that blends textures and flavors.

Your ingredients
To create this wonderful Lebanese wrap with omelette and chicken ham, you will need the following ingredients:

- 3 fresh eggs (choose high-quality, preferably organic eggs)
- 150 g of chicken ham or roll, diced (you can also use turkey ham for a lighter version)
- 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil (olive oil adds a rich flavor and is healthy)
- 1 large Lebanese wrap or 2 smaller ones (choose fresh wraps for better texture)
- 100 g of grated cheese (you can use mozzarella, cheddar, or any other type of cheese you prefer)
- Salt and pepper to taste (sea salt or freshly ground pepper will add a special flavor)

Preparation

1. Prepare the ingredients
Start by washing all the ingredients. Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them well with a whisk, adding a pinch of salt and pepper. This step is essential for achieving a fluffy omelette.

2. Heat the Panini Maker
Plug in the Panini Maker and let it preheat. If you don’t have a Panini Maker, don’t worry, you can use a non-stick frying pan.

3. Cook the chicken ham
Add the olive oil to the preheated Panini Maker. Then, add the diced chicken ham and sauté lightly for 1-2 minutes until they turn slightly golden.

4. Add the omelette
Pour the beaten eggs over the chicken ham and close the lid of the Panini Maker. Let the omelette cook for 3-4 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked and fluffy.

5. Fill the wrap
Once the omelette is ready, carefully remove it and place it on the Lebanese wrap. Sprinkle the grated cheese on top, then fold the wrap in half, forming a semicircle.

6. Toast the wrap
Place the folded wrap back in the Panini Maker and let it toast for 3-4 minutes until it becomes crispy and golden.

7. Serving
Remove the wrap from the Panini Maker and cut it into triangles. You can serve it warm, alongside a fresh salad or with dips like hummus or tzatziki.

Tips and useful advice
- If you want to add a touch of freshness, you can add some spinach leaves or chopped cherry tomatoes to the omelette.
- Instead of chicken ham, you can use feta cheese or sautéed vegetables for a vegetarian version.
- If you want a spicier version, add some slices of chili pepper to the omelette.

Frequently asked questions
1. Can I prepare the wrap in advance?
Yes, the wrap can be prepared in advance and reheated in a pan or oven before serving.

2. What other fillings can I use?
You can experiment with different types of meat, vegetables, or cheeses, depending on your preferences.

3. How can I store the wraps?
The wrap can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days, but it is best consumed fresh.
