Creating a Satisfying Breakfast with Three Simple Ingredients
Creating a satisfying breakfast doesn’t have to be a daunting culinary endeavor. With just three humble ingredients—bacon, eggs, and avocado—you can whip up a delicious breakfast burrito that is both simple and rewarding. Not only are these burritos quick to prepare, but they also allow for endless customization, so you can tailor them to fit your tastes or dietary preferences.
The Art of Bacon Preparation
The journey to a scrumptious breakfast burrito begins with the bacon, which takes the longest to cook. For this recipe, we’re using 600 grams of streaky bacon. However, you have the flexibility to use back bacon or middle bacon depending on your preference. By arranging the bacon on a parchment-lined tray, you ensure even cooking, even if the slices overlap slightly. If you’re working with a smaller tray, consider using two trays to avoid overcrowding. The bacon is then placed in an oven set to 180°C (or 350°F) for about 13 to 14 minutes, or until it’s cooked to your liking.
Perfectly Fluffy Eggs
While the bacon sizzles away, you can turn your attention to the eggs. Crack a dozen eggs into a bowl, ensuring no shell fragments sneak in. While you have the option to add milk or cream to make the eggs creamier, our focus here is on simplicity. A quarter cup of milk is more than enough to achieve a luscious texture without adding too many calories. Whisk the eggs thoroughly until the yolks and whites are completely blended. Avoid seasoning them at this stage, as adding salt too early can result in watery eggs, something no one desires.
Cheese and Avocado: Essential Additions
Next, cheese is brought into the fold. By grating 200 grams of light tasty cheddar, you’ll have the perfect topping for your burritos. It’s advisable to grate your own cheese rather than using pre-shredded varieties, which often contain anti-caking agents that can affect how well the cheese melts.
Avocados are the final component in our trio of ingredients. Slice two avocados in half, remove the seeds, and scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and a few cracks of black pepper, then mash the avocado with a fork to your desired consistency. Whether you prefer it chunky or smooth, the choice is yours.
Cooking and Assembling Your Burrito
At this point, your bacon should be nearly finished cooking, so it’s time to turn your attention to the eggs. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat, melting a tablespoon of unsalted butter. Pour in the beaten eggs and let them sit undisturbed for a brief period, allowing air pockets to form. Start gently stirring, keeping the curds large for a texture that’s light yet substantial. The entire cooking process should take around 2 to 3 minutes, depending on your pan size and egg volume. Season with a touch of salt and pepper before removing the eggs from the heat while they’re still slightly wet, as they will continue cooking from residual heat.
With the bacon crisped to perfection and the eggs cooked, it’s time to assemble the burritos. Use high-protein, low-calorie wraps as the vessel for your creation. Spread a portion of mashed avocado across each wrap, followed by an equal share of bacon and scrambled eggs. For added flavor and moisture, drizzle your chosen sauce—Sriracha mayo, barbecue sauce, or ketchup are all excellent options. Finally, sprinkle the grated cheese over the top.
Wrapping Up and Storing Your Burritos
When it comes to wrapping your burrito, start by folding in the sides, then roll it up tightly. The avocado acts as a natural adhesive, holding everything in place as you roll. Overfilling might be tempting, but this recipe strikes the perfect balance of filling to wrap.
Storage is a breeze, with various options available. Wrap the burritos in parchment, foil, or place them in food-safe bags or containers. In the fridge, they’ll maintain their freshness for up to five days, and in the freezer, they can last up to four months. To reheat, warm them in a dry pan over medium heat, allowing them to crisp up nicely. Microwaving is not recommended, as it can lead to a soggy texture.
Serving and Enjoying Your Creation
Once heated, slice the burritos in half for easy eating. The contrasting layers of creamy avocado, savory bacon, and fluffy eggs make for a visually appealing and appetizing bite. Despite the simplicity of the ingredients, the flavors marry beautifully, providing a satisfying start to your day.
Not only are these breakfast burritos convenient and delicious, but they also serve as a blank canvas for culinary experimentation. Feel free to incorporate additional ingredients like turkey mince, sausage, potatoes, or tomatoes to make them uniquely yours. The key is to have fun and enjoy the process.
