Sweet and Savory Breakfast Wraps Ingredients

• 4 large flour tortillas
• 4 large eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup

How To Make Sweet and Savory Breakfast Wraps

1. Cook the eggs: Whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper together in a medium bowl until well combined. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and scramble until cooked through but still soft.
2. Warm the tortillas: While the eggs are cooking, briefly warm the flour tortillas in a separate dry skillet for about 15 seconds per side, or microwave them for 20 seconds. This makes them more pliable and less likely to crack.
3. Assemble the wraps: Lay the warmed tortillas flat on a clean surface. Divide the scrambled eggs evenly among the four tortillas, placing them in the center. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon and shredded cheese over the eggs.
4. Add the sweet component: Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of maple syrup over the filling of each wrap.
5. Roll and serve: Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll them up tightly from the bottom. Serve immediately.

Recipe Tips

• Use fresh eggs: The quality of your eggs will significantly impact the final texture of the scramble.
• Don’t overcook the eggs: For a creamy, soft filling, take the eggs off the heat just before they are fully set. They will continue to cook slightly from the residual heat.
• Warm the tortillas: Warming the tortillas is a crucial step. It makes them flexible and prevents them from tearing when you roll the wraps.
• Customize your filling: Feel free to add other ingredients like sautéed onions, bell peppers, or spinach to the egg mixture for extra flavor and nutrients.

What To Serve Breakfast Wraps

These breakfast wraps are a complete and satisfying meal on their own. For a heartier breakfast spread, serve them alongside a bowl of fresh fruit like sliced strawberries or melon. You can also pair them with a side of crispy hash browns or a simple green salad for a light and refreshing contrast. A cup of coffee or a glass of fresh orange juice makes the perfect beverage pairing.

How To Store Breakfast Wraps Leftovers

• Refrigerate: Store any leftover breakfast wraps tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or foil, then place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, you can warm them in a microwave or a dry skillet until heated through.
• Freeze: Freezing is not recommended as the scrambled eggs can become watery and the tortilla may get soggy upon thawing.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I make these wraps ahead of time? You can prepare the eggs and bacon ahead of time and store them separately in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When you are ready to eat, simply reheat the fillings and assemble the wraps fresh. This will prevent the tortillas from getting soggy.
• What kind of cheese can I use? Cheddar cheese works well for its sharp flavor, but you can easily substitute it with other cheeses like Monterey Jack, a Mexican blend, or even crumbled feta for a different flavor profile.
• Can I use sausage instead of bacon? Yes, absolutely! Cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage is a great substitute for bacon. You can also use ham or even a vegetarian sausage alternative.
