Michelle’s Tips & Tricks

  • Yes, adding water to the oven makes a difference! The water serves the purpose of steaming the eggs, so they’re light and fluffy rather than crisp and too firm. Just make sure you remove the water from the oven when the oven is cold.
  • Add cheese if desired. This recipe is dairy-free, but of course adding cheese would be a great option.

Storage & Reheating Instruction

  • Store in the fridge for 3-4 days. Wrap them up in parchment or foil and store in the fridge.
  • Reheat to serve. I love reheating these in the air fryer for a few minutes, or on the stove in a pan!
  • Freeze for up to a month. Stash these in the freezer for up to a month, allow to defrost in the fridge, and then reheat as stated above!

Ingredients
 

For the caramelized onion

  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 yellow onions, sliced thin
  • 1 tbsp shallot, minced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • salt

For the wraps

Instructions
 

  • Using a medium skillet, heat the avocado oil over medium-low heat. Add the yellow onions to the pan and a pinch of salt. Stir the onion for about 20 minutes, allowing to cook caramelized. Add the garlic and shallot and saute for another 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and all set aside while the eggs cook.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 F and add a small loaf pan filled half way with water to the oven. Line an 8×8" baking pan with lightly greased pachment paper.
    • The loaf pan with water helps the eggs steam and create a fluffier texture rather than a crisp bake.
  • Add the eggs, yogurt, and seasonings to a bowl and blend with an immersion blender until fully smooth.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking pan and bake for 18-20 minutes or until set and no longer liquid. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slighlty before slicing into about 8 slices.
    • You'll want to cut the egg slices small enough to comfortably fit into the burrito.
  • To assemble the wraps, lay out a wrap and add 2 baked egg slices a slice of bacon, and some of the caramelized onion. Roll into a burrito and wrap well.
  • Enjoy the burritos immediately or store in the fridge for 2-3 days, or in the freezer for up to a month.

Notes

For the coconut yogurt. You can also use goat cheese or Greek yogurt if you tolerate dairy.
