Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 large flour tortillas Alternatively, use 4 slices sandwich bread.
- 100 grams shredded cheddar cheese Can substitute with mozzarella or pepper jack cheese.
- 4 tablespoons salsa Use pico de gallo or hot salsa for variety.
- 3 large eggs Add a pinch of salt and pepper when beating.
- 3 tablespoons cooked bacon bits Turkey bacon or vegetarian bacon bits can be used.
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter Used for grilling; can adjust as needed.
Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients on the counter to keep the cooking process smooth and organized.
- In a bowl, whisk together the 3 large eggs. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Introduce the 3 tablespoons of cooked bacon bits into the bowl with the beaten eggs and stir gently until well mixed.
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat and melt a small portion of unsalted butter. Pour in the egg and bacon mixture.
- Gently scramble the eggs until they are just cooked through—light and fluffy. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Spread the scrambled eggs evenly over one tortilla or two slices of bread.
- Sprinkle 100 grams of shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs, followed by 4 tablespoons of salsa.
- Place the remaining tortilla or slices of bread on top to form a sandwich.
- Spread the outsides of your assembled tortilla or sandwich with unsalted butter.
- Heat the frying pan over medium heat again. Place your sandwich in the pan and grill for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden-brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the pan, slice in half, and serve hot.
Notes
If you have leftovers, store in an airtight container. Keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in a skillet for best results.
