Ingredients
Frozen chopped spinach
1 (10-ounce package, thawed and excess moisture squeezed out)
Grated parmesan cheese
1/2 (cup, from the can)
Shredded mozzarella cheese
1 (cup)
Large eggs
4 (beaten)
Salt and pepper
to taste (optional)
Garlic powder
1/4 (teaspoon, optional)
Cayenne pepper

Instructions
1
Begin by thawing the package of frozen chopped spinach. Once thawed, place the spinach in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible; this step is crucial for ensuring the wraps achieve the right texture.
2
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet (approximately 10x13 inches) with parchment paper or lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
3
In a mixing bowl, add the dry, squeezed spinach. Break it into smaller clumps to ensure even distribution.
4
In the same bowl, incorporate the grated parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, eggs, and any optional seasonings like salt, pepper, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, or Italian herb seasoning. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the spinach is evenly distributed.
5
Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it into an even layer about 1/4 inch thick for thin wraps or thicker if desired.
6
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn golden brown and the mixture feels firm to the touch.
7
Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Gently peel the wrap away from the parchment paper and cut into desired sizes for wraps or sandwiches.
8
Store any leftovers in a plastic bag for up to two days in the refrigerator. Enjoy these versatile wraps with your favorite fillings!
