Breakfast Wraps
Wake up to hot breakfast wraps filled with cheddar and ham with this easy recipe. Prep takes just 15 minutes, but you can also make them ahead of time, store them in the fridge or freezer, and reheat them whenever you want.
This recipe folds in two protein sources, ham and eggs, and also features cheese—because there’s nothing better than hot, melted cheese, is there? This recipe is fine as-is, but you can take breakfast wrap recipes and make them vegetarian, swap out the ham for a different meat, or turn these into pizza breakfast wraps for a fun weekend treat.
Breakfast Wraps Ingredients
- Eggs: This recipe calls for six large eggs. If you only have medium eggs, add an additional egg for a total of seven.
- Milk: Use 2% milk, which means that the milk contains 2% of milkfat.
- Canola oil: This type of cooking oil can stand up to high temperatures.
- Cheddar cheese: You can either buy shredded cheddar or grate it yourself from the block.
- Ham: Make it easy on yourself by buying the fully cooked, diced ham sold in stores.
- Flour tortillas: Choose tortillas that are 8-inches in diameter.
Directions
Step 1: Cook the egg mixture
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the oil. Add the egg mixture to the skillet and cook it over medium heat until the eggs are completely set.
Step 2: Add the cheese and the ham
Stir the cheese and ham into the egg mixture.
Editor’s Tip: Any type of cheddar will work, including white cheddar, where the natural orange vegetable dye wasn’t added.
Step 3: Add the egg mixture to the tortillas
Spoon the egg mixture down the center of each tortilla and roll it up.
Editor’s Tip: If you like that charred coating on a tortilla and have a gas stove, lay the tortilla on top of the burner for no more than 10 seconds.
