loaded with eggs, meat, vegetables, and cheese, a hearty breakfast burrito seems like the perfect way to start the day on the right foot. but with all those components, burritos can be time consuming to prepare. few of us have time to spare in the morning, so we wanted to come up with a simple, easy-to-prepare burrito. here s what we discovered, cook the components together in the same pan. use a nonstick skillet large enough to accommodate all the ingredients., cook the sausage and vegetables together and remove them from the skillet before cooking the eggs., overstir the eggs. use a heatproof rubber spatula to push, lift, and fold the eggs back and forth across the skillet., tortillas in the microwave to prevent them from ripping when you roll the burritos., assembling breakfast burritos, spread a portion of the filling in a line across each tortilla , just off center., fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling , then roll the bottom edge of the tortilla tightly up over the filling and continue to roll into a burrito., folding scrambled eggs, as the eggs cook , gently push, lift, and fold them from 1 side to the other, using a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula, until large, airy curds have formed.

i have made this many times and the recipe comes from a french/belgium restaurant i worked in once again no written recipe , but i will try and explain how i did it., we bought the escargots (ok, snails) in a a 1 or 2 lb. tub, they came frozen and cleaned, no shells. we had shells we could stuff them in, if needed., i took a small pyrex ramekin and filled it half full of a clarified unsalted-butter, parsley and a small bit of garlic mixture. i put in 6 snails and covered the top with a puff pastry sheet. i would cut the pastry to fit the ramekin with a little hanging over the sides of the ramekin and coat with a egg wash (egg white and water) and made sure it sealed, use egg wash to make sure, pastry could shrink if not sealed good ., i put in a 425 degree oven and browned the pastry. i would make some kind of design on the pastry from a small cutters, before i browned it. i served this on a small white plate with a small paper doily on it. this dish we sold for $9.95 and sold a bunch nightly., a few sliced button mushrooms would be an option
