What are you doing with all your extra eggs? Our flock is in their first summer of laying so we are getting a nice number of eggs every day. EVERY DAY!! We set up a roadside stand to sell our extras but, honestly, our market area is flooded. Fortunately eggs can be stored in a variety of ways for leaner times. One of my favorite ways is to freeze them, prepared, for quick breakfasts. In a month or so our garden is going to be flooded with produce to put up and, shortly after that, we will have rabbits ready to butcher. It's going to be soooo busy around here. On those days a quick breakfast will really be handy. Already the mornings are full of getting everything watered before the sun starts working its magic. Today I grabbed a thawed breakfast taco out of the fridge and had it baking while I did the morning chores. It was nice to come inside to a hot breakfast!
I used my recipe for breakfast burritos and just substituted a smaller tortilla to make these the perfect size to eat on the go. Scrambled eggs hold up well in the freezer- very tasty- just be careful not to overcook them. We have a grandchild with a dairy allergy so I didn't add the cheese this time. It's easy to unwrap and add it individually after thawing to avoid accidental exposure.
Freezer
Breakfast Burritos
Ingredients
1 pound pre-cooked, drained well, and cooled meat (bacon, ham, sausage, etc…)
8 scrambled and cooled eggs
½ bag frozen Potatoes O’Brien cooked, drained and cooled
Shredded cheddar cheese to taste (approx. 1 cup)8-10 burrito size flour tortillas warmed slightly in microwave
Instructions
To use
Divide all ingredients between
tortillas. Wrap and place in a freezer bag (I like to individually wrap them in
foil first because I bake to reheat.) Freeze.
Transfer individual burritos to the refrigerator the night
before. Wrap in paper towel to microwave 1-3 minutes or until heated through. Wrap in foil to bake at 350 10-15
minutes or until heated through.
Heating times will vary due to thawing conditions and different
