Gather These Items
Here’s everything you need to create these delightful wraps:
- 4 flour tortillas (5" wide)
- 4 eggs
- 4 pieces bacon
- 4 slices American cheese
- 2 tbsp butter
- 4 low carb tortillas
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 8 chicken sausages
- 4 slices white cheddar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Pepper
- Garlic powder
Feel free to switch the bacon for turkey bacon or a vegetarian alternative if you prefer a healthier twist!
Directions to Follow
- Start by cooking the bacon until crispy using your favorite method. Set it aside once done.
- In a frying pan, heat the butter over medium heat (you can use oil instead if you prefer).
- Crack the eggs into the hot skillet and scramble gently. Cook until the whites are firm and the yolks are just set; then remove from heat.
- Take a tortilla and layer on one scrambled egg, a piece of bacon, and a slice of cheese on one half.
- Fold the tortilla in half, forming a quesadilla. Sear each side in the same hot pan for about 1-2 minutes until the cheese oozes.
- Serve immediately, and enjoy your high-protein breakfast wrap!
Best Ways to Enjoy It
These Wake Up Wraps are perfect on their own, but pair them with a fresh fruit salad or crispy hash browns for an extra treat. A dollop of salsa or hot sauce adds a nice spicy kick, and a refreshing fruit smoothie can round off the meal nicely.
How to Store
If you find yourself with leftovers (though I doubt you will!), let them cool completely, then store wrapped in foil or in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For reheating, simply pop them in the microwave for a minute or two, or grill them on a frying pan to regain that delightful crispiness.
Tricks for Success
Want to elevate your Wake Up Wrap experience? Here are some tips:
- Use room temperature eggs for fluffier scrambles.
- Experiment with different cheeses such as pepper jack or feta for varying flavors.
- Feel free to add your favorite veggies, such as spinach or bell peppers, for an extra health boost.
Recipe Variations
Get creative with your Wake Up Wrap! Swap out the bacon for diced ham or smoked salmon for an upscale twist. You can even turn it vegetarian by using sautéed mushrooms and added avocado. Different cheese combinations will also provide a fun taste experience.
