State Testing Breakfasts In A Jiffy!

Homemade Freezer Pancakes & Egg Burritos

I call these state testing burritos because I started making them on the week before state testing would start. I wanted to be sure the kiddos would start the day out with something healthy even if I didn't have time to make it in the morning. They turned out to be a big hit so I try and make them often. The kiddos will beg me to make them if I go a while without doing so.
See, I hate waking up earlier than I have to. I won't do it to work out and I won't do it to cook! So here's my solution, I make a huge amount of egg burritos or pancakes on the weekend, package them, and freeze them. It's a lot cheaper and healthier than buying similar products from the frozen food isle in your grocery store.
FOR THE EGG BURRITOS YOU'LL NEED:
12 eggs
12 tortillas (cooked or heated)
shredded cheese, probably 2 cups (I didn't measure, I just grabbed from a large bag)
1 package breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled (optional)
12 foil squares
12 wax paper squares
2 freezer bags
1 straw

 

First, in a large pan, heat your tortillas. While your heating your tortillas, crack your eggs into a large bowl. Whisk with salt, pepper, and a splash of milk if you want. Set aside. When tortillas are done, line them up, assembly line style, and fill them down the middle with cheese and egg. Fold up the sides and roll it closed. Wrap each in a square of wax paper. The wrap each in a square of foil. DO NOT lay the wax paper on the foil and then wrap it with both at the same time. When you go to reheat it in the microwave, you will remove ONLY the foil. You may want to unwrap the wax paper as well and then rewrap with the same wax paper loosely, to prevent it from sticking during reheating.

 Pancakes

The pancakes are super easy. Just make them as you normally would, let them cool, and stack them in three layers in a freezer bag. Place a sheet of wax paper between each layer and use the straw method to remove any air in the bag before sealing. Again, you'll need, wax paper squares, freezer bags and a straw.
