School Days Breakfast: Frozen Breakfast Burritos

This page has moved! For all the details about how to assemble these easy breakfast burritos head over to http://exploringdomesticity.com/school-days-breakfast-frozen-breakfast-burritos/



School has started and we're working on getting a good routine started.  This is the second full school year my step-daughter has been living with us, but this year she will be walking to school instead of going to morning daycare.  

We have been trying to get things organized so she can get herself her breakfast in the morning. I have a meal plan on a dry erase board on the back of a cabinet door in the kitchen, so she can check each day and know exactly what to make herself.

Breakfast on the menu:
  • Oatmeal, 1/2 banana (easy)
  • Cereal, 1/2 banana (easy)
  • Frozen Breakfast Burrito (just made those up today)
  • Frozen pancakes (still need to prepare)
  • Egg Breakfast Muffins (still need to make another batch)

So, obviously, I have a bit of work to do, but we're taking it one day at a time.  I made almost 20 Frozen Breakfast Burritos today, along with a dozen breakfast sandwiches for Hubby, so I feel pretty accomplished!

I've been making The Hubs frozen breakfast sandwiches for almost a year now.  He used to take a Jimmy Dean sandwich everyday, and when I started staying home I figured I could make them myself.  



I posted about those sandwiches back in April and they have been very popular on Pinterest.  Just the other day, someone suggested I cut the eggs with a glass so they are round instead of taking the easy route and making them square.  The thought had crossed my mind, but I never wanted to deal with all the scrap bits of egg.  Until now...

These breakfast burritos are the perfect way to use up all the excess egg left after cutting the circle eggs for the breakfast sandwiches!

Check out my post on the frozen breakfast sandwiches for my tips on cooking the eggs on the best pan ever and using foil squares for wrapping!

Making the Frozen Breakfast Burritos








All the "scrap" egg made a lot of burritos! We should be set for a couple months at least! Fantastic!




I'm one step closer to stress-free school mornings! I'll be working on those pancakes and Egg Muffins next!

    Wow, you are one good momma / wife! I feel like prepping breakfast is the thing I always forget to do.

    Thanks for the step-by-step instructions. My husband also thanks you in advance. Ha!

    I may be missing this entirely, but how long do you microwave this when ready to eat?

      It varies so much depending on your microwave and preferences, but I did one minute - it may help to wrap in a paper towel and flip halfway to keep soft

    The burrito's look great! Pinning for later. I've been working so much pre-making meals would definitely help. :D
