Creamy, savory brunch roll-ups filled with eggs, ham, cheese, and bacon, perfect for a satisfying breakfast or brunch gathering with versatile accompaniments.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix eggs, softened cream cheese, salt and pepper, crumbled cooked crispy bacon, ham, green onions, cheese, and milk together well.
- Cook until done but not dry, using microwave on Medium, stirring in between until moist and fully cooked.
- Fill each tortilla shell with the egg mixture.
- Serve warm with salsa and chips or jellies.
- For decoration, arrange roll-ups in a circle to make a wreath with a salsa or jelly bowl in the middle.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier filling, ensure your cream cheese is fully softened before mixing. You can substitute the chopped Cheddar cheese with a different cheese like Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack for a kick. Adding diced bell peppers or spinach can enhance the flavor and nutrition. If you're short on time, consider using pre-cooked bacon to speed up the process.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these roll-ups warm, accompanied by salsa and tortilla chips for a delightful brunch spread. You can also pair them with a fresh green salad or fruit platter for a balanced meal. For a festive touch, arrange the roll-ups in a circular shape to resemble a wreath, with a bowl of salsa or jelly in the center for dipping.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the roll-ups in the microwave for about 30 seconds to 1 minute on medium power, or until warmed through. You can also reheat them in an oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes for a crispier texture.
