Golden baked bites combining crispy hash browns, bacon, eggs, and cheddar cheese wrapped in soft tortillas.

# What You'll Need:

→ Homemade Tortillas

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
03 - 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
04 - 3/4 cup warm water

→ Filling

05 - 1 1/2 cups frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
06 - 6 slices bacon
07 - 6 large eggs
08 - 1/2 cup whole milk
09 - 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
10 - 2 tablespoons butter
11 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
12 - 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

→ Assembly

13 - Cooking spray or melted butter (for brushing)

# Steps:

01 - Set the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add vegetable oil and warm water gradually, mixing until soft dough forms. Knead for 3 to 4 minutes until smooth. Divide into 12 equal portions, cover, and rest for 10 minutes.
03 - On a floured surface, roll each dough portion into a 6-inch circle.
04 - Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat and cook each tortilla 1 minute per side until lightly browned. Keep wrapped in a towel to stay soft.
05 - In a skillet, cook bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels, chop into bite-sized pieces, and set aside. Remove excess grease from skillet.
06 - Melt butter in the skillet. Add hash browns and cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden. Season with salt and pepper.
07 - Whisk eggs and milk together. Pour into skillet with hash browns and scramble gently until just set. Remove from heat and fold in cheddar cheese and bacon.
08 - Place a tortilla flat and add approximately 2 heaping tablespoons of egg mixture in the center. Roll tightly, tucking in ends to form small bites. Repeat for all tortillas.
09 - Arrange bites seam-side down on prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush with melted butter or spray with cooking spray.
10 - Bake bites for 10 to 12 minutes until golden and heated through. Serve warm.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They're portable enough to eat in the car, but homemade enough to feel special.
  • You can make a whole batch on Sunday and reheat them all week without them falling apart.
  • The crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside texture is impossible to resist.
02 -
  • Don't skip squeezing the moisture out of your thawed hash browns—it's the difference between breakfast bites and breakfast mush.
  • Your tortillas need to be warm and pliable when you fill them, or they'll crack; if they cool down, warm them back up in a skillet for a few seconds.
03 -
  • Let your dough rest those full 10 minutes—it makes a huge difference in how easily it rolls without tearing.
  • If your filling seems too wet, cook it a few minutes longer before rolling everything up; excess moisture will make your tortillas soggy during baking.
