How many breakfast burritos can one man create? I’ve never asked myself that question, because I have yet to arrive at a number. A while back, I started making different types of tacos using full meals instead of elements of a taco. There, I created a chicken caesar taco with a parmesan cheese taco shell. At the time, I didn’t really think it was that big of a deal, I’d been making cheese blankets, and moulding cheese for the better part of a decade, but the internet felt differently. I was bombarded with requests, asking how to recreate the shell, and if I had any more “Keto” friendly recipes. At the time, I didn’t, until now.
Introducing the Keto Breakfast Burrito. It possesses everything you know and love when describing a classic “Josh Elkin“ breakfast item. Ground sausage, bacon, and cheesy eggs. Here’s the kicker, instead of a flour or corn tortilla, this recipe uses a full mozzarella cheese blanket as the tortilla.
The trick is, in order to make this a reality, you need to invest in a large non stick frying pan. Trust me, you’ll use it for more than just this burrito. If you’ve never had a cheese blanket, you’re in for a treat. Eating the contents of a breakfast burrito that is fully surrounded in a crispy, cheesy cheese blanket, is almost like an outer body experience that you’ll forever remember. Make these burritos and become the Brunch Champion I know you can be!

INGREDIENTS
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup or 8 oz of cooked ground sausage
- 6 strips cooked bacon
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp chopped chives
INSTRUCTIONS
For the cheese blanket (tortilla)
- Heat a large non stick frying pan to medium heat. Add half the shredded mozzarella and spread evenly so the cheese is covering the entire surface.
- Continue to fry until the edges of the cheese start to crips and the cheese is easily removable from the pan. Place on a piece of parchment and set aside.
- Combine the shredded cheddar cheese with the eggs and chives and whisk. Add ½ teaspoon of salt and pepper.
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter to a medium pan. When the butter is melted, add the egg and cheese mixture to the pan and cook periodically mixing the contents of the pan. Set eggs aside.
- Add half the sausage to the center of the cheese blanket. Add half the eggs on top of the sausage followed by the bacon.
- Fold each side of the cheese inward. Roll the burrito with the opposite side creating a pocket. Enjoy your Keto creation!
