Recipe Steps
Step 1
Begin by cooking the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until it crisps up nicely. Once cooked, place it on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up the excess oil.
Step 2
While the bacon cools, scramble the eggs in the same skillet to soak up extra bacon flavor. Use a dash of salt and pepper to enhance the taste.
Step 3
Lay out your wraps and place a few strips of bacon on each one. Top them with a generous spoonful of the Scrambled Eggs.
Step 4
Add any additional fillings like cheese, avocado slices, or spinach, depending on your preference for a richer flavor.
Step 5
Fold the sides and bottom over the fillings before rolling it tightly. You can eat them immediately or grill them slightly for a warm, toasted version.
Storage Options
If you’re planning to make these ahead of time, allow the wraps to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To freeze, wrap each sandwich individually in plastic wrap before placing them in a freezer-safe bag. Reheat in the microwave or toaster oven to obtain a rich taste and texture.
Variations & Substitutions
For a healthier twist, substitute turkey bacon or a plant-based option. You can also replace the eggs with a Tofu Scramble for a vegan version. Spice it up by adding jalapeños or swap the cheese for a spicy pepper jack option. The variations are endless, allowing you to adjust based on taste preferences or dietary requirements.
Serving Suggestions
This recipe is excellent for breakfast, brunch, or even an early lunch. They pair beautifully with a freshly brewed cup of coffee or a smoothie for a balanced start. Serve them at a brunch buffet or wrap them tightly to enjoy on your next road trip or picnic.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these wraps the night before?
Absolutely! Prepare the wraps as instructed, let them cool completely, and store them in the refrigerator overnight. This will save time in the morning without compromising on taste or texture.
What are some alternative fillings?
You can add grilled vegetables, sautéed mushrooms, or various cheeses to personalize your wrap. Olives and sun-dried tomatoes are excellent for a Mediterranean twist, enhancing the flavor profile significantly.
How do I keep my wraps from getting soggy?
To prevent sogginess, ensure the scrambled eggs are not too runny, and any additional fillings like spinach or tomatoes are patted dry. This will help maintain the texture and prevent excess moisture in your wraps.
