Instructions:
-
Beat Eggs: Begin by beating the eggs in a bowl until smooth.
-
Mix Ingredients: In a stand mixer or food processor, thoroughly combine the beaten eggs, cream soups, and black pepper.
-
Add Veggies and Meat: Incorporate sautรฉed veggies and ground sausage into the egg-soup mixture.
-
Scramble Eggs: Scramble the egg mixture until it’s just slightly less cooked than your preferred level of doneness. You can do this in batches in a skillet or all at once in a dutch oven, carefully stirring the eggs so that uncooked portions flow to the bottom.
-
Fill Pockets: Fill each pita half (or tortilla or other bread “wrapper”) with the cooked egg mixture, then top with approximately 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese.
-
Assemble Pockets: Keep a 9×13 pan handy to place filled pockets in an upright position while assembling them.
-
Freeze Pockets: For burrito-style hot breakfasts to go, place them on cookie sheets, ensuring they don’t touch each other. Allow the pita-style pockets to cool somewhat before adding the cheese if you’re not serving them immediately.
-
Package and Store: Once filled, place the pockets (or burritos or sandwiches) in the freezer. Once frozen, package each pocket separately in microwave/freezer-safe wrapping and store them in the freezer for grab-and-go breakfasts.
-
Reheat: To serve, reheat the frozen breakfast in the microwave for approximately 90 seconds, or until hot throughout. Keep in mind that microwaves can vary greatly, so you may need to experiment with the reheating time.
-
Enjoy: This recipe makes 24 hot breakfasts to go. If you prefer a sit-down family breakfast, you can prepare one-third of the recipe by cooking the eggs to your desired level of doneness. A third of the recipe would serve 4-8, depending on your family’s appetite.
Whether you’re rushing out the door or sitting down for a leisurely breakfast, these hot breakfast pockets are sure to satisfy your hunger and kickstart your day with flavor and nutrition. Feel free to customize the ingredients to suit your taste preferences and dietary needs, and enjoy the convenience of having a hearty breakfast ready whenever you need it! ๐ณ๐ฅ๐ง
