Description
These savory baked breakfast tacos are filled with bacon, eggs, and cheese, then baked until crispy and golden. Perfect for feeding a crowd, they’re easy to customize and guaranteed to become a family favorite for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
- 8 small flour tortillas (6-inch)
- 8 strips bacon (thick-cut preferred)
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/3 cup milk or half-and-half
- 2 green onions, sliced (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Butter or cooking spray (for greasing pan)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
- Lay bacon strips on a separate foil-lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, until crisp. Blot with paper towels and chop into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk (or half-and-half), salt, and pepper until frothy. Stir in half the cheese, all the chopped bacon, and green onions if using.
- Lay tortillas out on the greased pan. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the egg mixture onto the center of each. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Fold each tortilla gently in half, pressing down so the filling spreads evenly.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, until tortillas are golden and crisp on the edges and eggs are set.
- Let tacos cool for 1 minute before serving. Use tongs to transfer to plates and garnish with extra green onions if desired.
Notes
Don’t overfill the tortillas to avoid spillage. For extra crispy edges, brush taco tops with melted butter before baking. Swap bacon for sausage, ham, or veggies for variety. Use gluten-free tortillas for a gluten-free version. Tacos can be made ahead and reheated in the oven or microwave.
