Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 2 large flour tortillas or 4 slices sandwich bread
- 100 grams shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 tablespoons salsa
Egg Filling
- 3 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons cooked bacon bits
For Grilling
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, beat the 3 large eggs thoroughly and mix in the 3 tablespoons of cooked bacon bits.
- Cook the Eggs: Heat a frying pan over medium heat and melt a small portion of the unsalted butter. Gently scramble the egg and bacon mixture in the pan until the eggs are just cooked through, then remove from heat.
- Assemble the Burrito Grilled Cheese: Evenly spread the scrambled eggs, 100 grams shredded cheddar cheese, and 4 tablespoons salsa onto one flour tortilla or two slices of sandwich bread. Place the remaining tortilla or bread on top to form a sandwich.
- Prepare for Grilling: Spread the outsides of the tortillas or bread with the remaining butter to ensure a golden crisp crust when cooked.
- Grill the Sandwich: Heat a frying pan over medium heat and grill the sandwich for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted thoroughly.
- Serve: Slice the sandwich and serve hot for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Add sliced avocado or jalapeños inside the sandwich before grilling for extra flavor and a spicy kick.
- Use whole wheat tortillas or multigrain bread to increase fiber content.
- Ensure the eggs are scrambled gently to keep them moist and fluffy.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute bacon bits with cooked mushrooms or plant-based bacon alternatives.
- Be cautious while grilling to prevent burning; maintain medium heat and monitor closely.
