Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 strips thick-cut bacon
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tbsp heavy cream (for fluffier eggs)
- 1 tbsp butter or MCT oil for the pan
- 1 low-carb tortilla (or use egg wrap for zero-carb option)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Optional: diced avocado, jalapeño, or hot sauce
How to Make It
- Crisp: In a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until golden and crispy. Set aside and chop into bite-sized pieces.
- Whisk: Beat eggs with heavy cream, salt, and pepper. The cream makes them extra creamy and satisfying.
- Scramble: Add butter to a skillet. Pour in the eggs. Stir gently with a spatula until soft curds form. Remove before fully set—they’ll finish in the burrito.
- Layer: Warm the tortilla. Lay down eggs, bacon, and shredded mozzarella. Add extras like avocado or hot sauce.
- Wrap: Fold edges in, roll tightly, and press seam-side down on a hot skillet for 1–2 minutes until sealed and slightly crisp.
- Serve: Slice diagonally. Let that steam rise. That’s not breakfast. That’s victory.
Pro Tips & Common Mistakes
- Pro Tip: Add erythritol to the eggs for a sweet-savory contrast—yes, really. It intensifies umami response.
- Pro Tip: Use parchment paper to wrap and freeze. Microwave with the paper still on to avoid sogginess.
- Pro Tip: Melt cheese directly on the tortilla first. It seals the base and adds chew.
- Common Mistake: Overcooking the eggs. They keep cooking after you remove them from heat—always pull early.
- Common Mistake: Skipping fat. Don’t fear the butter. It carries flavor and fuels your morning.
- Common Mistake: Using high-carb tortillas. Stick to almond flour wraps or egg-based versions to stay in ketosis.

Science Snapshot: Eating a high-fat breakfast increases satiety and suppresses ghrelin, the hunger hormone. A 2008 study showed that consuming fat early in the day reduced caloric intake across a 24-hour period.
Pairing MCT oil with your breakfast burrito provides instant ketone production—ideal for fasted-state training or deep morning focus.
