FAQ
Can you make a double batch?
Absolutely! For 8 breakfast burritos, simply double all of the ingredients. Just make sure the pan you use is big enough to cook 16 eggs.
How can you make these burritos dairy free?
Use non-dairy milk and vegan cheese (or omit the cheese completely).
Freezing Breakfast Burritos
Enjoy these breakfast burritos straight off the stove or freeze them for later (you could even make a double batch!). To freeze, wrap each burrito in plastic wrap and squeeze out as much air as possible. Wrap again with a layer of foil. Label each individually wrapped burrito and freeze for up to 3 months.
To Reheat
- From Frozen: Unwrap the frozen burrito and place it on a plate in the microwave. Use the defrost setting and cook for 2-3 minutes, flipping every minute. Then, microwave on high for 60-90 seconds, or until hot.
- From Thawed: Transfer the breakfast burrito from the freezer to the refrigerator the night before. When ready to warm, unwrap the frozen burrito, place it on a plate, and microwave on high for 60-90 seconds, or until hot.
Serving Suggestions
Enjoy these breakfast burritos as a standalone meal on the go, or with fresh fruit, a few extra pieces of oven baked bacon, and a hot cup of coffee.
