Cook the bacon in a frying pan. Meanwhile, scramble the eggs using your favourite technique. 2. Layer the ingredients in each wrap – it’s easiest to lay the watercress down rst, then the bacon, then the eggs and avocado – and fold the wrap so all ends are closed. 3. In a dry frying pan, heat the closed wraps on all sides to seal, this should only take a couple of minutes but be careful not to burn the wraps. is recipe can be easily adapted to suit your preference or dietary requirements. For example, you can make this a vegan recipe by replacing the eggs and bacon for tomatoes and your favourite vegan sausages!
