Scrambled Eggs Breakfast Burrito

I’m so excited to have teamed up with Jessica Seinfeld to talk about her new Veggie Blend-Ins that she has partnered with Green Giant to bring to the world. I would normally tell you to just do it yourself but I signed on for this because I just don’t have the time or energy to always do everything myself, especially butternut squash and as these are literally 100% the ingredient I knew I could stand behind Jessica and her new product. I decided to make a scrambled eggs breakfast burrito for a very specific reason.

Our girls are great about trying to eat their vegetables every day, and the other foods work out pretty well too, but scrambled eggs are one of those things that they just barely decided they like, but only if it’s got cheese and a sprinkling of powdered sugar on top. Trust me, there’s a story behind that but it’s for another day. We are getting rid of the sugar but I still wanted a way to offer a little more nutrition to their breakfast so they would stay fuller longer and their bodies would get a variety of nutrients.

We tried a little breakfast burrito action because kids love tortillas and I figured we could add the butternut squash and seasonings to help everything taste a little more flavorful without giving away that it was healthier. It worked like a charm. In fact, it made the eggs softer! I hate dry eggs so this was wonderful for me. The girls loved the flavor and I was finally successful at adding more to their food without it being the same green smoothie in the morning.

Want to try it yourself? You can buy the Veggie Blend-ins on Amazon and try out the easy to open packets of 100% purred veggies! Seriously, no one even noticed the puree, it was easy to open and even smelled yummy. I learned that it’s best to use similar colors like butternut squash in macaroni and cheese etc or to use darker foods to hide the spinach. It helps you figure out what flavors will go well together and helps to hide the secret ingredient so no one feel weary of trying something new.

Water actually makes lighter scrambled eggs than milk.

just add just a splash of water to the bowl after you crack and whisk the eggs.

Can You Use Corn Tortillas for Burritos?

Corn tortillas will work for a burrito.

They will need to be warmed a little to make them pliable enough to roll without tearing.

You can warm them for 20-30 seconds on a griddle, wrap them in foil and put them in a 325 degree oven till warm, or wrap them in a slightly wet towel and microwave for a few seconds.

Can Fresh Eggs Be Kept At Room Temperature?

Eggs don’t need to be refrigerated, but one day out on the counter at room temperature is equivalent to about a week in the refrigerator, so if you aren’t going to eat them pretty quickly, it is better to refrigerate eggs.
