Ingredients

12 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
dash black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (28.25 grams)
1 pound Italian pork sausage (453.6 grams)
8 ounces cremini mushrooms sliced, optional, read in the post for breakfast burrito variations (226.8 grams)
1 small yellow onion diced
4 garlic cloves minced
2 cups cheddar cheese shredded (226 grams)
8 tortilla shells 8 inch or burrito size

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with a hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add in the salt and pepper.
12 large eggs, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, dash black pepper
Place a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the egg mixture to the skillet. Allow it to set for a moment, about one minute. Then using a spatula, start pulling the edges of the eggs towards the center of the pan. Keep doing this until the eggs have begun to solidify and turn light and fluffy, about 7 to 10 minutes. Remove the eggs from the heat.
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
In a different skillet add the pork sausage, breaking it up. Once it begins to brown, add the mushrooms, onions, and garlic. Continue cooking until the mushrooms are tender and the onions are translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain any excess grease from the pan.
1 pound Italian pork sausage, 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, 1 small yellow onion, 4 garlic cloves
Add the eggs to the skillet with the sausage. Add the cheese and stir to combine. Divide the mixture amongst the 8 tortilla shells, about a little less than a cup per shell. Roll the tortilla into burritos by folding in both ends and then rolling. (See photos within the post.)
2 cups cheddar cheese, 8 tortilla shells
Enjoy the burritos immediately, or wrap them tightly with plastic wrap and put in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, remove plastic wrap and microwave for 3 to 4 minutes.
