Spinach & Feta Breakfast Burritos
Soft-scrambled eggs, a skilletful of wilted spinach, and salty feta rolled into tortillas — eat one warm and stash the rest in the freezer for rushed mornings.
Ingredients
serves 6From the garden
- 6 cups fresh spinach, packed, roughly chopped
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
From the pantry
- 8 eggs
- ¾ cup crumbled feta
- 6 large flour tortillas — burrito size
- 2 tbsp butter
- hot sauce (optional) — for serving
- salt — to taste
- black pepper
Steps
tap a step to dim it as you go- Melt half the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach in handfuls with a pinch of salt, letting each batch collapse before adding the next — it cooks down to about a cup. Cook until the released liquid has evaporated, then scrape into a bowl. A wet filling is what makes a soggy burrito.
- Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Melt the remaining butter in the same skillet over medium-low and scramble slowly, pushing the eggs into soft folds, pulling the pan off the heat while they still look slightly glossy — they'll finish cooking in the wrap.
- Fold the spinach, green onions, and feta gently into the eggs. Taste — the feta carries a lot of salt, so it may need nothing more.
- Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or the microwave so they roll without cracking. Spoon filling slightly below center of each, fold in the sides, and roll up snugly.
- Eat straight away with hot sauce, or cool the burritos completely, wrap each in foil, and freeze. Reheat unwrapped in the microwave 60–90 seconds, or foil-wrapped in a 350°F oven about 20 minutes.
