Ingredients

Scale

Base

2 large flour tortillas or 4 slices sandwich bread
100 grams shredded cheddar cheese
4 tablespoons salsa

Egg Filling

3 large eggs
3 tablespoons cooked bacon bits

For Grilling

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl, beat the eggs until smooth and fluffy, then combine with cooked bacon bits for a flavorful filling.
Scramble Eggs: Heat a frying pan over medium heat and melt a small portion of butter. Gently scramble the egg and bacon mixture, stirring frequently, until the eggs are just cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
Assemble Sandwich: Evenly spread the scrambled eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, and salsa onto one tortilla or two slices of bread. Make sure to distribute the ingredients to the edges for even flavor and coverage. Top with the remaining tortilla or bread to form a sandwich.
Butter Exterior: Spread softened butter generously on the outside surfaces of the tortillas or bread. This will ensure a crisp, golden crust when grilling.
Grill Burrito Grilled Cheese: Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich in the pan and grill for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula until the bread or tortilla is golden brown and the cheese has melted thoroughly.
Serve: Remove from heat, let the sandwich rest briefly to prevent cheese from oozing excessively, then slice into halves or wedges. Serve hot with optional sides like sliced avocado or jalapeños for added flavor.

Notes

Add sliced avocado or jalapeños for extra flavor before grilling.
Use low heat when scrambling eggs to keep them tender and creamy.
Generously butter the outside of your bread or tortillas to achieve the perfect crunch.
Store leftovers wrapped tightly in foil and refrigerate for up to two days; reheat in a pan for best texture.
Freeze assembled sandwiches uncooked for convenient make-ahead meals; thaw slightly before grilling directly from frozen.
Customize with alternative proteins like turkey bacon or vegetarian options such as sautéed mushrooms and spinach.
Avoid microwaving leftovers to prevent sogginess; pan reheating maintains crispness.
