Breakfast Burritos

Perfect for making in large batches and freezing for quick and easy portable breakfasts. Sounds like I’m trying to sell you something.

I made 8 of these for my freezer so we’d have a few nice breakfasts when the baby arrives. Somehow there’s only 6 left. If I look in the freezer again this morning, it might have whittled down to 5 or maybe even 4. I don’t understand how they keep disappearing. I’m assuming maybe there’s a hole in the freezer bag, and they’ve been falling out and being kicked under the fridge or something. You know, the same thing that happened to that carton of ice cream we had. And that Tupperware full of mac ‘n cheese with bacon. That’s gone too. Strange…

Breakfast burritos – makes 8

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. breakfast sausage (Bob Evans, Jimmy Dean, etc.)
• 1 dozen eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
• salt/pepper to taste
• 6 oz. cheddar cheese, shredded
• 8 large burrito shells

Other things you’ll need:

• wax paper
• aluminum foil
• freezer bags

Directions:

1) Cook sausage in large pan (or in my case, a wok) until fully cooked and browned. In a separate large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk and green onions. Pour eggs into pan/wok and cook on medium high heat, stirring consistently, until eggs are completely cooked. Salt and pepper to taste. Set mixture aside to cool.

2) Spoon egg and sausage mixture onto center of burrito. Top with shredded cheese. Roll by folding short ends towards the middle, then rolling long sides together to seal, placing seam side down. Wrap in wax paper then aluminum foil. Place burritos in freezer bags, squeezing out excess air from the bag.

3) To reheat, remove foil and place wax paper covered burrito in microwave for approximately 1 1/2 minutes. Let cool for 1-2 minutes, unwrap from wax paper and enjoy. Serve with hot sauce or ketchup if preferred.
