Introduction

The Wake Up Wrap is a delicious and hearty breakfast that combines eggs, bacon, and melted cheese in a warm tortilla. It’s quick to make and perfect for starting your day with a satisfying meal. There’s also a high-protein variation using chicken sausage and cottage cheese for extra fuel.

Four breakfast quesadillas are placed on crinkled beige parchment paper over a white marbled surface. Each quesadilla is folded in half, showing a slightly browned, golden tortilla with spots of darker toasting on the outside layer. Inside, there are visible layers of melted orange-yellow cheddar cheese, cooked eggs with a pale yellow color, and crispy, reddish-brown bacon strips peeking out from the edges. The quesadillas are arranged with some space between them, highlighting the textures of the tortillas and fillings. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

4 flour tortillas (5″ wide)
4 eggs
4 pieces bacon
4 slices American cheese
2 tbsp butter
4 low carb tortillas (for high-protein version)
6 eggs (for high-protein version)
1/2 cup cottage cheese (for high-protein version)
8 chicken sausages (for high-protein version)
4 slices white cheddar (for high-protein version)
1/4 tsp salt, plus pepper and garlic powder to taste (for high-protein version)

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the bacon using your preferred method: oven, air fryer, or stove top. Once cooked, set aside.
Step 2: While the bacon cooks, heat a frying pan over medium heat and add butter or oil. When the pan is warm, crack the eggs into the skillet without crowding. You may need to cook in batches.
Step 3: Break the yolks gently with a fork and scramble lightly, keeping the eggs mostly whole. Cook until the whites set, then flip and cook until yolks are firm.
Step 4: Remove the eggs from the pan and keep the pan on medium heat for the next step.
Step 5: Lay the flour tortillas flat. On one half of each tortilla, place one egg, one piece of bacon, and one slice of American cheese.
Step 6: Fold each tortilla in half like a quesadilla and place in the hot pan.
Step 7: Cook each side for 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and the tortillas are golden brown. Serve warm.
High-Protein Version: Cook the chicken sausages according to package directions (oven or air fryer).
Step 8: In a bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, eggs, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook this mixture over low heat, stirring gently until scrambled. Keep the pan warm.
Step 9: Lay the low carb tortillas flat and place one slice of white cheddar on one half. Add a quarter of the egg mixture and two chicken sausages on top, then fold the tortilla in half.
Step 10: Toast the folded wraps in the skillet until both sides are golden and the cheese has melted. Enjoy your high-protein wake up wrap!

Tips & Variations

For crispier bacon, use the oven method and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes.
Swap American cheese with your favorite cheese like cheddar, pepper jack, or Swiss for different flavors.
Try adding sautéed veggies like peppers or spinach inside the wrap for extra nutrition.
Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas if preferred.
For fluffier scrambled eggs in the high-protein version, add a splash of milk or cream when mixing.

Storage

Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat or in a microwave until warmed through. Avoid overheating to keep the tortilla from becoming soggy.

Inside, there are layers of melted yellow cheese, cooked scrambled eggs with a soft texture and light yellow color, and crispy reddish-brown bacon peeking slightly out of the sides. The cheese appears gooey and stretchy, blending with the eggs, while the bacon adds a crispy texture on top and edges. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the wraps in advance and store them in the fridge. Reheat them properly before eating to ensure the cheese melts and the wrap is warm.

4 slices white cheddar
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

Cook Bacon: Prepare the bacon by cooking it in the oven, air fryer, or on the stovetop until crispy. Once done, set aside for assembly.
Cook Eggs: While the bacon cooks, heat a frying pan over medium heat and add butter or oil. Break the eggs into the pan without crowding. You may need to cook in batches. Break the yolks gently with a fork and scramble lightly while keeping the eggs in place.
Finish Eggs: Once the whites are cooked, flip the eggs and cook the other side until yolks are fully cooked through. Remove eggs from the pan and set aside, keeping the pan warm on medium heat.
Assemble Classic Wraps: Lay out the four flour tortillas flat. On one half of each tortilla, place one cooked egg, one slice of bacon, and one slice of American cheese.
Fold and Toast Classic Wraps: Fold each tortilla in half like a quesadilla. Transfer to the still-warm pan and cook each side for 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and both sides are golden brown. Serve while hot.
High Protein Version Sausage: Cook the chicken sausages according to package instructions in the oven or air fryer until fully cooked and browned.
Make Cottage Cheese Egg Scramble: Mix the 6 eggs, cottage cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook the mixture over low heat in a skillet, stirring gently until scrambled and cooked through.
Assemble High Protein Wraps: Lay the low carb tortillas flat. Place one slice of white cheddar on one half, top with one-quarter of the egg and cottage cheese scramble, and then place 2 cooked chicken sausages on top.
Fold and Toast High Protein Wraps: Fold the tortillas in half, then toast them in the same skillet over low to medium heat until the outside is golden and the cheese melts. Serve warm.

Notes

To prevent overcrowding, cook eggs in batches if your pan is small.
Bacon can be cooked ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for quick assembly.
Use low carb tortillas for a lower carbohydrate option.
You can customize the wrap by adding vegetables such as spinach, tomatoes, or avocado for extra flavor and nutrition.
Keep the pan temperature moderate to avoid burning the tortilla while melting the cheese.
