Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 12 oz (340 g) breakfast sausage (bulk sausage preferred)
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded cheddar cheese (sharp or mild)
  • 8 flour tortillas (8-inch)
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) milk (dairy or dairy-free)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp butter or oil (for cooking eggs)
  • Optional: ½ cup (75 g) chopped bell peppers or onions
  • Optional: 2 tbsp fresh cilantro
  • Optional: hot sauce or salsa to serve

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and crumble in the sausage. Cook for about 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until browned and cooked through. Transfer sausage to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat eggs with milk, salt, and black pepper until just combined. Avoid overbeating.
  3. Wipe out the skillet or use another pan, add butter or oil over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and let sit undisturbed for about 20 seconds. Gently stir with a spatula, pushing eggs from edges to center. Cook for 3-4 minutes until soft and creamy. Remove from heat immediately.
  4. If using, add chopped bell peppers or onions to the sausage while cooking, softening them about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Lay out one flour tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon about ¼ cup (60 g) scrambled eggs down the center, top with 2 tbsp cooked sausage and 2 tbsp shredded cheddar cheese. Add extras like cilantro or salsa if desired.
  6. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll from one end to the other to enclose the filling. Wrap each burrito tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper.
  7. Place wrapped burritos on a baking sheet and freeze for 2 hours to firm up. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer bag or airtight container and label with date.
  8. To reheat, unwrap burrito and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, flipping halfway through, or bake in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 20-25 minutes until heated through.

Notes

Scramble eggs low and slow for soft, creamy texture. Brown sausage properly for flavor. Wrap burritos tightly to prevent freezer burn. Freeze individually on a tray before storing together to avoid sticking. Reheat gently to avoid rubbery eggs.
