When you get bored with the usual quick breakfast items for
the kids like cereal and oatmeal, what else do you grab/cook? Last week I decided to make a batch of
breakfast burritos, while watching my late night reality shows (don’t judge),
and freezed them for the husband and kids to grab in the morning and heat up in
the microwave. They loved them.
Breakfast Burritos
Tortillas
Scrambled Eggs
Hash browns (frozen, defrost ahead of time)
Bacon/sausage
Salsa
Cheese
I cooked the eggs, hash browns, and bacon over the
stove. I heated the tortillas up by
steaming them: boil water in a pan, put a strainer over the top, place the
tortilla on the strainer and cook for about a minute then flip. I then stuffed each tortilla with all of the
yummy ingredients. After rolling them
up, I wrapped them in foil and put them in the freezer. To heat up, remove them from the foil wrap a
wet paper napkin around it and cook on high in the microwave for a few minutes.
An example of steaming the tortillas:

Roll them up and wrap them in foil:

Another quick and easy go to breakfast is German
Pancakes. My kids crave them (I blame
our neighbors for this)! But the good
thing is they only take a few minutes to prepare and a short time to bake.
German Pancakes
6 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter or
margarine, melted
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put butter on a cookie sheet (with sides or a
9x13 ungreased pan) and place in the oven to melt. Meanwhile, place the eggs, milk, flour and
salt in a blender, cover and blend until it bubbles. When the butter has melted, remove the cookie
sheet and pour the batter inside. Bake,
uncovered, at 400 degrees F for 10-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with lemon wedges (squeeze on top) and
some powdered sugar.

Now I need to go buy some more eggs, I’m
officially craving German Pancakes!
