Description
Make-ahead freezer breakfast burritos with scrambled eggs, sausage, and cheese for quick, hot mornings.
Ingredients
Scale
12 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 pound breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
12 (10-inch) flour tortillas
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
- Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Pour egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until set but still moist.
- Remove eggs from skillet and set aside.
- Warm tortillas slightly to make them pliable.
- Layer each tortilla with scrambled eggs, crumbled sausage, cheddar cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese.
- Fold in the sides and roll tightly to form burritos.
- Wrap each burrito in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil.
- Place in a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months.
- To reheat, remove wrapping, cover with a damp paper towel, and microwave for 1–2 minutes until heated through.
Notes
- Ensure sausage is fully cooked and crumbled with no excess grease to prevent sogginess.
- Warming tortillas before assembly prevents cracking.
- Double-wrapping (plastic then foil) is essential for preventing freezer burn.
- Do not thaw before reheating; microwave directly from frozen.
- Label freezer bag with date for best quality within 3 months.
