Join the discussionHi, Lisa! This recipe looks great!! I look forward to making it this week!
Could you tell me why you add the water to the eggs before you scramble them? Does it make them fluffier? Make them go further? Freeze better?
Thanks so much!
wish u had gotten an answer to this!
Its to make them fluffier 🙂
Could you make these from frozen in the oven instead of microwave? If so, what temp and how long?
Absolutely! I would reheat them on 325 for maybe 12-15 minutes. Enjoy!
How much of the onion, peppers, and salsa would I use if I wanted to incorporate? Sorry, I’m new to cooking in bulk 🙂
I would start with a small amount (possibly 1/2 cup total), and then add to it if you like. You can customize to your family’s preference.
Could you reheat these in the Instant Pot? What would that look like for setting and time? and moisture level – would it need to be pot in pot?
Personally, I’d be more likely to reheat these in a toaster oven before I put them in the IP but I don’t see why not. This post might help you determine time: https://onceamonthmeals.com/blog/series/instant-pot/instant-pot-tips-tricks-201/
Hi thanks for great recipe! My daughter can’t do dairy so we add refried beans or ground sausage to her breakfast burritos. Can either of these be added sms done as a option for freezer? If so, any special instructions. Thanks:) I’m very new to freezer cooking.
Hey, Karen! So glad you love the recipe, we’re glad you’re here. I’m not sure I fully understand your question but here is a helpful post on what you can and can’t freeze. https://onceamonthmeals.com/support/can-i-really-freeze-are-there-any-items-i-cant-freeze/ If you have more questions, we’d love to chat with you in the bottom right-hand corner.
Could I add cheese to egg while it is warm, so cheese would melt?
You could, however if you’re making these to freeze, the cheese will melt when reheating them in the microwave.
