Instructions
Let’s get cooking, shall we? Follow these simple steps to make the perfect breakfast roll-ups:
Preheat Your Pan: Start by heating a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You want it hot enough to cook the eggs and bacon quickly but not too hot to burn them.
Cook the Bacon: Add the bacon strips to the pan and cook until crispy, about 3-5 minutes per side. Once done, set aside on a paper towel to drain.
Scramble the Eggs: In the same pan, crack the eggs and scramble them to your desired consistency. You’ll want them soft and fluffy—don’t overcook them!
Assemble the Roll-Ups: Lay a tortilla flat on a surface, and start layering: bacon, scrambled eggs, cheese, spinach, tomatoes, and avocado. Be generous with your fillings, but don’t overstuff.
Roll It Up: Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla in and roll it tightly, securing everything inside.
Toast the Roll-Ups: Place the roll-ups seam side down in the hot pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy.
Serve and Enjoy: Slice the roll-ups in half and serve with a dollop of sour cream. Enjoy your homemade breakfast!
How to Serve Breakfast Roll-Ups
These breakfast roll-ups are delicious on their own, but here are a few ideas to elevate your meal:
- Fresh Salads: Pair with a light, fresh salad for a contrast to the warm, savory roll-ups.
- Fruit: A side of fresh fruit like berries or orange slices brings a nice balance to the meal.
- Hot Sauce: Add a drizzle of hot sauce or salsa for some extra spice and flavor.
- Potatoes: Serve with crispy roasted potatoes or hash browns for a hearty, comforting breakfast.
Additional Tips
- Prep Ahead: Chop your veggies and cook the bacon the night before to make the morning assembly even quicker.
- Customize the Filling: Experiment with different proteins, veggies, or cheeses to create your own signature breakfast roll-up.
- Storage Tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the pan to preserve the crispy texture.
