Freezer Breakfast Burritos are the perfect make-ahead meal for busy mornings. Packed with fluffy scrambled eggs, savory sausage, and melty cheese, these burritos freeze beautifully and reheat without getting soggy, making them a convenient and satisfying breakfast option.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 burritos 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 12 (10-inch) flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  3. Pour egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until set but still moist.
  4. Remove eggs from skillet and set aside.
  5. Warm tortillas slightly to make them pliable.
  6. Layer each tortilla with scrambled eggs, crumbled sausage, cheddar cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese.
  7. Fold in the sides and roll tightly to form burritos.
  8. Wrap each burrito in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil.
  9. Place in a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months.
  10. To reheat, remove wrapping, cover with a damp paper towel, and microwave for 1–2 minutes until heated through.

Notes

  • Ensure sausage is fully cooked before assembling.
  • Customize with vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or beans.
  • Wrap tightly to prevent freezer burn and sogginess.
  • Best reheated straight from frozen for convenience.
