Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 roll ups
Ingredients
- 4 large tortillas
- 8 slices of bacon
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Butter for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by laying out the tortillas, cooking bacon, and gathering shredded cheese, salt, and pepper.
- Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp and golden brown, approximately 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- Drain most of the bacon grease from the skillet, leaving just a thin layer for cooking eggs. Reduce heat to medium-low.
- Crack eggs into the skillet, season with salt and pepper. Cook eggs sunny-side up or over-easy, depending on your preference, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Warm tortillas briefly in the microwave or on a separate skillet to make them more pliable.
- Place one cooked egg in the center of each tortilla, then layer 2 bacon slices on top of the egg.
- Sprinkle approximately 1/4 cup of shredded cheese over the bacon and egg.
- Carefully roll the tortilla tightly from bottom to top, tucking in sides to create a sealed roll-up.
- Optional: Lightly butter a clean skillet and toast the roll-ups for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden and cheese is melted.
- Remove from heat, slice diagonally if desired, and serve immediately while warm.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time in the morning, you can cook the bacon and eggs the night before. Simply reheat them when you're ready to assemble your roll-ups!
- Customize Your Cheese: While shredded cheese is a classic choice, feel free to experiment with different varieties like pepper jack for a spicy kick or cheddar for a sharp flavor.
- Make It Veggie: Add some sautéed vegetables like bell peppers or spinach to the roll-ups for an extra nutritional boost and flavor variety.
- Perfecting the Roll: When rolling the tortillas, make sure to tuck in the sides to prevent the filling from spilling out. A tight roll ensures that every bite is packed with flavor!
- Serving Suggestions: Pair your roll-ups with a side of fresh fruit or a dollop of salsa for an added zing. They also make a great snack for any time of the day!
