keto breakfast burrito
keto breakfast burrito How many breakfast burritos can one man create? I’ve never asked myself that question because I have yet to arrive at a number. A while back, I started making different types of tacos using full meals instead of elements of a taco. There, I created a chicken caesar taco with a parmesan cheese taco shell.
At the time, I didn’t really think it was that big of a deal, I’d been making cheese blankets, and molding cheese for the better part of a decade, but the internet felt differently.
I was bombarded with requests, asking how to recreate the shell, and if I had any more “Keto” friendly recipes. At the time, I didn’t, until now.
Introducing the Keto Breakfast Burrito. It possesses everything you know and loves when describing a classic “Josh Elkin“ breakfast item. Ground sausage, bacon, and cheesy eggs.
Here’s the kicker, instead of a flour or corn tortilla, this recipe uses a full mozzarella cheese blanket as the tortilla.
The trick is, in order to make this a reality, you need to invest in a large non-stick frying pan. Trust me, you’ll use it for more than just this burrito.
If you’ve never had a cheese blanket, you’re in for a treat. Eating the contents of a breakfast burrito that is fully surrounded in a crispy, cheesy cheese blanket, is almost like an out-of-body experience that you’ll forever remember.
INGREDIENTS FOR KETO BREAKFAST BURRITO
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup or 8 oz of cooked ground sausage
- 6 strips cooked bacon
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp chopped chives
INSTRUCTIONS:
For the cheese blanket (tortilla)
Heat a large non-stick frying pan to medium heat. Add half the shredded mozzarella and spread evenly so the cheese is covering the entire surface.
Continue to fry until the edges of the cheese start to crips and the cheese is easily removable from the pan. Place on a piece of parchment and set aside.
The eggs:
Combine the shredded cheddar cheese with the eggs and chives and whisk. Add a ½ teaspoon of salt and pepper.
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to a medium pan. When the butter is melted, add the egg and cheese mixture to the pan and cook periodically mixing the contents of the pan. Set eggs aside.
Assembly:
1- Add half the sausage to the center of the cheese blanket. Add half the eggs on top of the sausage followed by the bacon.
2-Fold each side of the cheese inward. Roll the burrito with the opposite side creating a pocket. Enjoy your Keto creation!
