Step-by-Step Instructions

Cook the Bacon:

Fry the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy and golden turning occasionally for even cooking Set aside on a paper towel lined plate to drain and cool

Whisk the Eggs:

Crack the eggs into a medium bowl Add half and half salt and pepper Whisk vigorously until you see bubbles this helps make eggs extra fluffy

Scramble the Eggs:

Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat Pour in the egg mixture Let it sit for a few seconds then gently run a spatula through the eggs pushing from the edges to the center Cook until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist around two to three minutes Remove from heat before they overcook

Warm the Tortillas:

Microwave the tortillas stacked and covered with a damp paper towel for about fifteen seconds until soft and pliable This keeps them from cracking when you wrap them later

Assemble the Wraps:

Spread each tortilla flat on your work surface Divide the cooked scrambled eggs evenly in a line down the center of each Top with shredded cheddar and two pieces of bacon per wrap

Wrap Them Up:

Fold both sides of the tortilla in over the filling Then roll tightly from the bottom upwards into a burrito shape so everything stays inside

Crisp the Wraps Optional:

Heat a touch of oil or extra butter in the same skillet over medium Place your wraps seam side down Cook for one to two minutes per side until the outside is golden and lightly crisped

Cut and Serve:

Slice each wrap in half to reveal the layers Serve right away or wrap each in foil for a breakfast you can take anywhere

I always look forward to the velvety texture that half and half brings to the eggs It was my grandmother who taught me to add that splash for unbeatable creaminess and now my kids say breakfast eggs are not the same without it
