Ingredients

For the Filling:

• 8 large eggs
• ½ cup (120ml) milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup (115g) shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese
• 1 pound (450g) cooked breakfast sausage or bacon, crumbled
• 1 cup (150g) diced bell peppers
• 1 cup (150g) diced onions

For the Burritos:

• 8 large flour tortillas
• 2 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil spray

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2: Cook the Filling

1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, sauté the diced onions and bell peppers until softened. Remove and set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture into the skillet and scramble the eggs until fluffy and set.

Step 3: Assemble the Burritos

1. Place a tortilla on a flat surface and layer scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, sautéed vegetables, and shredded cheese in the center.
2. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it tightly from bottom to top to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 4: Bake the Burritos

1. Arrange the burritos seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Brush the tops with melted butter or spray lightly with olive oil.
2. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the burritos are golden and crispy.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Serve the burritos warm with your favorite toppings like salsa, sour cream, or hot sauce for an extra kick.

Tips for Perfect Breakfast Burritos

1. Make Them Your Own: Customize the filling with your favorite proteins (chorizo, tofu, or shredded chicken) and vegetables.
2. Freeze for Later: Wrap unbaked burritos individually in foil or plastic wrap and freeze. When ready to eat, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes.
3. Extra Crispy: Use butter or olive oil spray for a perfectly crispy outer layer.
