B.E.C. Breakfast Bites (Printer-friendly)

Golden baked bites combining hash browns, bacon, eggs, and cheddar in soft tortillas.

# What You'll Need:

→ Homemade Tortillas

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
03 - 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
04 - 3/4 cup warm water

→ Filling

05 - 1 1/2 cups frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
06 - 6 slices bacon
07 - 6 large eggs
08 - 1/2 cup whole milk
09 - 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
10 - 2 tablespoons butter
11 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
12 - 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

→ Assembly

13 - Cooking spray or melted butter for brushing

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Mix flour and salt in a large bowl. Drizzle in vegetable oil, then gradually add warm water, stirring until a soft dough forms. Knead for 3-4 minutes until smooth. Divide dough into 12 equal pieces, cover, and rest for 10 minutes.
03 - On a floured surface, roll each dough ball into a thin 6-inch circle.
04 - Cook each tortilla on a hot, dry skillet over medium-high heat for 1 minute per side until lightly browned. Keep covered with a towel to stay soft.
05 - Fry bacon slices in a skillet until crispy. Remove bacon, drain excess grease, and chop into bite-sized pieces. Wipe out skillet.
06 - Melt butter in the same skillet. Add thawed hash browns and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden. Season with salt and pepper.
07 - Whisk eggs and milk in a bowl. Pour into skillet with hash browns and scramble gently until just set. Remove from heat and fold in shredded cheddar cheese and chopped bacon.
08 - Place a tortilla on a work surface and spoon about 2 heaping tablespoons of the egg mixture in the center. Roll tightly, tucking in ends to form a small burrito. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
09 - Place assembled bites seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush with melted butter or spray with cooking spray.
10 - Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden and heated through. Serve warm.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They freeze beautifully and reheat in minutes, so you can make a double batch and forget about breakfast for weeks.
  • The homemade tortillas stay soft and tender even after baking, which means no cracked or stiff wraps.
  • You control the filling, so it's easy to swap bacon for veggies or load up on extra cheese without anyone judging.
02 -
  • If you skip resting the dough, the tortillas will shrink back when you roll them and you'll end up with thick, chewy discs instead of thin wraps.
  • Don't overfill the tortillas or they'll burst open in the oven, and trust me, cleaning melted cheese off parchment paper is not fun.
  • Let the scrambled eggs stay slightly underdone before baking because they'll finish cooking in the oven and you don't want them dry.
03 -
  • If you're short on time, use store-bought flour tortillas and skip the homemade dough, but warm them slightly before rolling so they don't crack.
  • Brushing the bites with melted butter before baking creates a golden, crispy exterior that makes them taste almost deep-fried.
  • Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze, especially if any cheese leaks out.
