- ¼ cup (35g) cheddar cheese, shredded

Preparation
- Place the bacon in an even layer in the Anyday. Cover with the lid (knob lifted).
- Cook in the microwave for 5 minutes, or until the bacon is golden brown and crispy. If you like your bacon on the softer side, remove it 1 minute earlier.

- Assemble burritos with tortillas, bacon, eggs, cheese, and avocado. Top with sour cream and hot sauce if using.

All You Need to Know About Making Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Burrito in the Microwave
What is a breakfast burrito?
A breakfast burrito is a delicious, portable meal that typically combines scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, cheese, and various toppings, all wrapped in a soft flour tortilla. It's perfect for breakfast on the go or a satisfying snack at any time of day!
Can I cook eggs and bacon in the microwave?
Absolutely! Use an Anyday dish to make perfect scrambled eggs and crispy bacon in the microwave. The silicone I'm in the lid makes cooking eggs and bacon in the microwave super easy without splatter or messes to clean.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes! You can make and wrap as many burritos as you need, wrap them in parchment paper, and freeze them for a quick meal later. Alternatively, prepare a large batch of the filling and store it in an Anyday dish with the lid on for up to 5 days. Just reheat the burritos each morning for a hassle-free breakfast!
What’s the best way to reheat my burritos?
If you’ve frozen your wrapped burritos, start by placing the frozen burrito in a Shallow dish and cover with the vented lid. To test the temperature, you can pierce the center with a toothpick or fork and carefully touch it to your lips to ensure it’s just right. If you made a large batch of filling and are reheating each morning, simply form your burrito and heat it up for 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on how hot you want it. Enjoy!
Can I use a plant-based egg mixture?
Yes, you can! A plant-based egg mixture works great in this recipe, making it a delicious option for those following a plant-based diet.
