I have a very good friend who detests any&all eggs. In spite of this error in taste - her’s not mine - we’ve remained good friends. Yes, I love eggs. You can do so many things with them, from the simple scrambled/fried/poached variety to something a little more substantial: the breakfast burrito, for instance. This burrito is a just a flour tortilla folded around cheese, ham, and scrambled eggs. Wrap in tin foil and bake for 10 minutes. The burrito will be warm and soft , full of melting cheese and slightly salty ham. Add a dollop of salsa if you have a jar in your fridge. This is so good, you might want to make two!
Ingredients
1 large flour tortilla
2 eggs
1 tablespoon butter
salt/pepper
2 or 3 slices of deli ham
Cheese: 1/2 cup shredded or a few slices - American, Cheddar, Swiss - your choice
Aluminum foil: a square about 10 inches X 10 inches
Heat oven to 350 degrees
- Scramble eggs. Crack two eggs into small bowl. Mix eggs vigorously with a fork until whites and yolks are combined. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Place of butter in non-stick skillet. Turn heat to medium-high, allowing butter to melt. Once butter is melted, pour egg mixture into skillet. Using wooden spoon or heat proof spatula, gently drag spoon along the bottom of the skillet - this where the eggs will cook first. Do this continuously until eggs are firm and can hold their own shape. Once eggs are scrambled, take off heat and set aside. You don’t want to over cook the eggs as they can become water-y.
- Place tortilla in the middle of your square of foil. Layer ham and cheese in center of tortilla. Place scramble eggs on top of ham and cheese. Turn up two opposite side of the tortilla toward one and another. Then easily roll one “un-turned” end toward the other. Wrap foilaround the burrito and place directly on rack in oven.
- Heat in oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven, add some salsa, and eat!
