This month, we are celebrating a powerhouse of local agriculture: the Colorado egg. This month’s featured recipe, a versatile and vibrant Egg Flatbread Wrap, highlights the incredible quality and freshness that comes from our state’s dedicated producers.
Our state’s egg producers are a vital part of the Colorado Proud community, supporting an agricultural industry that contributes over $47 billionannually to our economy. Despite recent challenges like avian influenza, Colorado’s egg farms—ranging from large-scale commercial operations to smaller family-run backyard flocks—remain resilient.
Nutritionally, eggs are one of nature’s most perfect “superfoods,” offering an affordable and complete protein source that is hard to beat. Each large Colorado egg contains approximately 6 grams of high-quality protein and all nine essential amino acids necessary for muscle repair and immune health. Beyond protein, eggs are packed with essential nutrients like Vitamin D for bone health, choline for brain function, and antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which support eye health.

Directions

- Remove flatbread to a rack or other surface and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before using.
- Add your favorite sandwich toppings to one side of your flatbread. For a club sandwich vibe, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise and mustard and layer with slices of ham, tomato, lettuce and potato chips. If desired, sprinkle in crushed potato chips for crunch.
