1. Simple Breakfast Burrito Wrap
This is a fun and easy way to start your morning. A simple burrito full of all your favourite breakfast items.
Serving: 2 people (adjust the amounts however you need).
Time: 10 minutes.
Basic Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 4 bacon slices
- 4 hashbrowns
- 1 tortilla wrap
- A teaspoon of oil
- A pinch of salt
- A pinch of pepper
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- A knob of butter/splash of cream
Method:
- Beat 3 eggs into a bowl and pour it into a pan with a knob of butter and/or splash of cream.
- Add seasonings such as pepper, salt and garlic powder once the eggs begin to set.
- With a splash of oil, heat 4 bacon slices and 4 hashbrowns in another pan and whatever else you feel like throwing in. This could be an assortment of vegetables, avocado, onions, pinto beans, baked beans or whatever else you like. You can even throw in last night’s leftovers!
- Grab a tortilla wrap and lightly heat it on a pan to soften so it’s easier to fold into a burrito.
- Begin to layer each ingredient onto the wrap, starting with your favourite condiments on the wrap – mayo, ketchup, or hot sauce, whatever you feel like.
- Add the eggs onto the wrap, then the rest of your cooked ingredients.
- To get the perfect burrito wrap, fold the top and bottom side of the wrap about an inch towards the middle of the wrap. Then fold the left side of the wrap over the contents of the wrap towards the right hand side and keep rolling.
- Enjoy!
2. Omelette
A satisfying, flavourful and tasty way to start the day. Omelettes are a quick option for those who want a filling breakfast before heading out the house.
Serving: 1 person (adjust the amounts however you need).
Time: 10 minutes.
Basic Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- A block of cheddar cheese
- A teaspoon of oil
- A pinch of salt
- A pinch of pepper
- A teaspoon of garlic powder
Method:
1. Prepare your fillings beforehand – if you want to include some meat, such as ham, chicken or chorizo, cut it up and cook it in a pan with a splash of oil. Add some chopped onions or any other vegetables you like into the pan to cook.
Bonus tip – throw some garlic powder onto the vegetables to give them some extra flavour.
2. Beat 3 large eggs in a bowl. Once your fillings are ready, pour the egg mixture into the same pan.
3. Add some salt, pepper, garlic powder and any other seasonings you like as the egg mixture cooks for a boost of flavour. Mix the seasonings in before leaving the eggs to sit over the heat.
4. Once one side has cooked, flip over or tip the egg mixture to the edges so it runs over onto the pan underneath. You can also add some cheese on top and flip the omelette in half.
5. After a few minutes, once the omelette is fully cooked, place it onto a plate and enjoy!
