fat egg, cheese, and potato breakfast burritos

This is a fast easy breakfast burrito recipe that you can make before work. All the ingredients are for one burrito. You can also make the burritos in batches and freeze.

I'd never heard of anyone microwaving their eggs to make scrambled eggs, but the eggs come out really fluffy and delicious, fast, and without messing up a frying pan. I tried it out of laziness and it works great. All my plain scrambled eggs are made in the microwave now.

  • 2 eggs

  • cheddar cheese

  • hot sauce

  • 1 flour tortilla

  • 1 frozen hash brown patty

  • salt & pepper

1. Heat the hash brown patty in the microwave. Cut it into pieces and set aside.

2. Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add a shake of salt and pepper. Fork whip the eggs together.

3. Cut a nice slice of cheddar cheese. I use sharp cheddar cheese myself, and usually make my slice around a quarter inch thick.

4. Microwave the eggs. About 1 minute 40 seconds at regular setting does it on my microwave, but the cook time will vary. The egg will rise up as it cooks. The center will cook last and be a hole. You want the egg to be just done with the last trace of liquid just absorbed as you stir for best taste. Until you know your microwave time cook the egg for so many seconds and check it to make sure you don't overcook it. Take the eggs from the microwave and mash them with a fork.

5. Put the cheese slice on the tortilla and cook it in the microwave until the cheese is about half melted or so. It depends on how thick your cheese slice is. You don't want to overcook the tortilla or else it will be brittle and crack as you roll it, so until you know your microwave time cook the tortilla so many seconds at a time and check it to prevent overcooking.

6. Take the tortilla from the microwave and put the egg on top of the cheese. Put the hash browns on top of the egg. Add some hot sauce. I use Tapatio sauce.

7. Roll the burrito. Close both ends when you roll it to make less mess if you are eating on the way to work. That's a fast easy breakfast burrito.
