Author: This cheesy bacon and spinach scrambled eggs recipe is easy to make and delicious. Plus it’s naturally low carb (and tastes great on a tortilla too)!
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But most times (if you’re anything like me) it gets overlooked or downplayed.
In my case that’s because I am SO not a morning person. I like to sleep until 5 minutes passed the absolute last moment that I have to get up!
So I had to come up with a fast, healthy, and long lasting breakfast that we could have on a regular basis, without breaking the bank! I also have a breakfast casserole variation if you like to include potatoes in your breakfast (yum!)
Cheesy Bacon and Spinach Scrambled Eggs
Thus was born this recipe for easy and filling scrambled eggs! Not only are bacon and eggs a cheap meal, but you can make the bacon in advance, chop it up and keep it in the fridge, and then just add it to the eggs in the morning.
After all, scrambled eggs are one of the easiest breakfast recipes out there! And with precooked bacon in the fridge, this whole thing is just a 5 minute effort!
Plus, the spinach gives it a kick of lasting power to get you well through to lunch. In fact, we’ve had to push our normal lunch time back a bit because we found that we weren’t hungry at the time we were used to eating!
It’s a great low carb breakfast recipe all on its own, but if you’re not doing low carb you can also throw it in a tortilla for an easy and delicious scrambled egg breakfast burrito!
We make our own homemade tortillas and keep them in the freezer. You can throw them in the fridge the night before and have them ready to use in the morning.
Either throw them in the oven, still wrapped in foil, or warm them in a skillet while the eggs cook!
Make Ahead Breakfast Burritos
You can also fill the tortillas in advance and freeze them for a crazy simple breakfast!
Make the scrambled eggs as noted below, then fill your tortillas and wrap them in foil!
Freeze for up to 6 months.
To reheat: Place the foil wrapped burrito in a cold oven and set to 375°. Heat for 20-25 minutes total.
Perfect for making breakfast while you get ready in the morning!
