Burger King Egg-Normous Breakfast Burrito
Description
The burrito features a hearty combination of crispy hashbrowns or tater tots, well-cooked bacon and sausage patties, fluffy scrambled eggs, and cheddar cheese all wrapped in large tortillas. The hashbrowns are baked on a wire rack for even crisping while the sausage and bacon cook alongside to render fat and develop texture. The eggs are cooked gently on the stovetop for a tender, fluffy scramble, and the tortillas are warmed separately to enhance pliability and prevent cracking when folded.
The assembly involves layering cheese first on the warm tortilla to allow melting from retained heat, then adding eggs and meats before rolling tightly. Proper heating and portioning prevent the burrito from overfilling and spilling ingredients. This approach balances textures between the crunchy hashbrowns and tender eggs within a flexible tortilla wrap.
This burrito serves as a filling breakfast or brunch item that can be prepared partly ahead by cooking meats and hashbrowns in the oven, reducing stovetop time. It pairs well with mild sauces or salsa if desired.
Key tips include warming tortillas before assembly for foldability, cooking eggs low and slow for softness, and tucking burrito ends while rolling to keep the filling enclosed well.
Ingredients
- 2 frozen hashbrown patties or ½ cup frozen tater tots
- 4 lices Bacon
- 2 sausage patties I recommend Purnell’s Old Folks Country Sausage Patties or Jimmy Dean Precooked Sausage Patties, or ¼ pound mild breakfast sausage
- 4 egg large
- 2 inch tortillas
- ⅕ cup cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Place a wire rack on top of a cookie sheet. Place the hashbrown patties spaced about ½ inch apart on the wire rack, followed by the bacon and sausage. Place the sheet in the oven to bake.
- At about 12 to 15 minutes, remove the sausage and crispy bacon, but allow the hashbrowns to continue to bake until done.
- About 5 minutes before the hashbrowns are done, heat a large skillet over medium heat. When it is hot, place a tortilla in the skillet. Heat the tortilla for 1 minute, flip, heat for another 30 seconds, and place the tortilla on a plate. Repeat for the second tortilla.
- To prepare the scrambled eggs, crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk very well. Add 2 teaspoons of butter to the warm skillet and pour in the cracked eggs. Cook the eggs by gently stirring until they have firmed up and cooked through.
- To build the burritos, place half of the cheese onto each tortilla.
- Divide the cooked eggs into 2 portions and add a portion to each of the tortillas.
- Cut the sausage patties in half, and place 2 halves on top of the eggs, along with two slices of bacon.
- Cut the hashbrown patties in half and add 2 halves to each tortilla.
- Roll up the burritos and serve.
Notes
- Warm tortillas prior to filling to prevent cracking and improve flexibility.
- Cook eggs gently on low heat to keep them fluffy and tender.
- When assembling, place cheese first so it melts with the residual heat.
- Leave space when filling to facilitate easier rolling and avoid spillage.
- Fold and tuck sides tightly during rolling to contain the filling securely inside the tortilla.
