This Breakfast Crunchwrap wraps up fluffy eggs, crispy bacon, and melty cheese all in a handy tortilla. Perfect for mornings when you need something quick and tasty!
I love how easy it is to customize! Throw in some veggies or switch to sausage if you’re feeling different. Who knew breakfast could be rolled up so neatly? 🌯
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Flour Tortillas: Large tortillas hold everything together well. If you’d like a healthier option, try whole wheat or corn tortillas. Just keep in mind that corn tortillas may be smaller, so you might need more of them!
Eggs: They’re the star of this dish! If you’re in a hurry, liquid egg substitutes work well, too. Scrambled tofu can be a great option for a vegan approach.
Ground Sausage: Breakfast sausage adds flavor. If you prefer something leaner, turkey sausage or chicken sausage could fit nicely. For a vegetarian twist, try black beans or crumbled tempeh.
Cheese: Mozzarella is delicious, but feel free to switch it up! Cheddar or pepper jack gives a nice kick, while dairy-free cheese is great for a dairy-free option.
How Do I Get My Crunchwrap Extra Crispy?
The key to a crispy crunchwrap is all in the cooking process. Make sure your skillet is hot enough when you start cooking. This will give the tortilla a nice golden color and a satisfying crunch.
- Preheat the skillet on medium heat, and add oil or butter.
- After adding the crunchwrap, let it cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes before flipping. This creates a lovely crispy texture!
- Flip gently to avoid spilling the filling. A spatula helps with this!
Enjoy your breakfast crunchwrap just the way you like it! 😊
Breakfast Crunchwrap Recipe
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch size)
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 8 oz ground breakfast sausage
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes (optional)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or your preferred melting cheese)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or butter for cooking
How Much Time Will You Need?
This Breakfast Crunchwrap takes about 15 minutes to prepare and cook. Perfect for a quick breakfast or when you’re on the go!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. This will give your scramble a light and fluffy texture!
2. Scramble the Eggs:
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and scramble until just set, stirring occasionally. Once cooked, remove the eggs from the skillet and set aside.
3. Cook the Sausage:
In the same skillet, add the ground breakfast sausage. Cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart as it cooks. Make sure it’s browned and cooked through. If there’s excess grease, feel free to drain it.
4. Combine with Tomatoes and Herbs:
Add the diced tomatoes and chopped cilantro or parsley to the sausage. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes so all those delicious flavors mix together.
5. Assemble Your Crunchwrap:
Lay a large tortilla flat on a clean surface. In the center, layer your scrambled eggs, the sausage mixture, and a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese. Don’t overfill it, or it will be tough to wrap!
6. Fold the Tortilla:
To wrap it up, fold the edges of the tortilla inward, covering the filling, and then fold it up to create a sealed package.
7. Cook the Crunchwrap:
Wipe out the skillet and heat it again over medium heat. Add a little oil or butter, then place the wrapped tortilla seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until golden and crisp.
8. Flip and Finish Cooking:
Carefully flip the crunchwrap using a spatula and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden and the cheese has melted.
9. Serve and Enjoy:
Remove the crunchwrap from the skillet and slice in half if desired. Serve it warm and enjoy this tasty handheld breakfast!
Feel free to customize your crunchwrap with your favorite ingredients, and enjoy your hearty and cheesy Breakfast Crunchwrap! 🌯😊
Can I Use Eggs Substitutes in This Recipe?
Absolutely! You can use egg substitutes like liquid egg products or scrambled tofu for a vegan option. Just adjust the cooking time accordingly, as egg substitutes may cook differently than real eggs.
What Can I Use Instead of Breakfast Sausage?
If you prefer a different protein, try turkey or chicken sausage for a leaner option. For a vegetarian alternative, black beans or crumbled tempeh work wonderfully, providing great texture and flavor!
How Do I Store Leftovers?
Store any leftover crunchwraps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side until heated through, or microwave for about 30-60 seconds.
Can I Make These Ahead of Time?
Yes! You can prepare the filling (eggs, sausage, and any veggies) in advance and store it in the fridge for a day or two. Just assemble and cook the crunchwraps when you’re ready to eat!
