    Flautas are a popular Mexican dish that are made by rolling up a filling in a corn or flour tortilla and frying them. In this breakfast flautas recipe, we fill ours with bacon, cheddar cheese, and eggs in a flour tortilla for a delicious morning dish. They can be served with salsa or sour cream on the side for dipping.

    Our German Puff Pancake, Tropical Fruit Salad, or Cinnamon Stewed Pears are both perfect to serve with these breakfast flautas.

    How to Make Breakfast Flautas

    Full ingredient amounts and preparation instructions are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    Step 1. Prepare the egg patties

    Step 2. Transfer egg patties to tortilla

    Instead of flipping the egg to cook the other side, you will use the tortilla to flip it out. The slightly unset top of the egg patty will finish cooking during the oven bake phase.

    Step 3. Add bacon & cheese, roll up and bake

    Lay the tortilla down on a cutting board. Make a little assembly line to cook the egg patty, lay out the bacon & cheese, and roll up each flauta.

    Serving suggestions

    These Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Breakfast Flautas are perfect for morning breakfast grabs or quick morning meals. They are also easy to make ahead and stack on a platter for a breakfast or brunch buffet. If you need something quick & easy, but out of the ordinary, these would be perfect for a Christmas or Easter morning.

    Substitutions

    Substitute any cheese you like for the Cheddar or Colby. Thins slices roll up easier though. Grated cheese works also, but it is messier to work with during the roll up phase.

    Variations

    We have a couple other delicious Breakfast Flautas recipes also. Try our Pepperoni Pizza Breakfast Flautas or our Monte Cristo Flauta Roll Up's.

    All three breakfast flautas are great for brunch table spreads and grab & go breakfast options. Wrap them individually and your teens can microwave them and you know they got a healthy morning start.

    Top Tips

    • Wax paper is best for wrapping individually and storing later for microwave reheating. If you use plastic wrap to wrap them and then reheat, there is a serious struggle liberating a hot flauta from the plastic wrap. Wax paper releases easily.
    • Make a double or triple batch for easy morning breakfasts.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I freeze these?

    Yes! And if you have any teenagers in your home, you will be so glad you did! Roll up individually in wax paper and store in a zip lock bag in the freezer. Microwave on defrost first then in short 15 second intervals.

    Ingredients

    • 6 flour tortillas
    • 6 eggs
    • 6 slices Colby cheese , thin deli slices
    • 12 strips bacon , cooked
    • ¼ cup melted butter
    • salt
    • pepper
    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Brush a rimmed baking sheet with oil or non stick spray. Set aside for later.
    • Heat a skillet and use non stick spray or brush with oil. Whisk one egg in a small bowl, add to heated skillet. As egg starts to set up don't flip, instead lay one flour tortilla on top, and using your hand to hold the tortilla in place, turn skillet upside down so the egg is on top of the tortilla. Lay egg topped tortilla on your cutting board.

    • Season egg patty with salt & pepper. Lay 2 slices of Colby cheese on top of hot egg patty. Lay 2 strips of bacon near edge closest to you. Starting where the bacon is, roll up loosely. Repeat for all 6 flautas.

    • Lay each rolled up flauta onto the prepared baking sheet, with the seam facing down. Brush tops with melted butter.
      ¼ cup melted butter
    • Bake in oven for 30 minutes, cut into chunks as appetizers or serve whole as a meal.

    Notes

    • Wrap these breakfast flautas in wax paper instead of plastic wrap, and store in a zip lock bag. This will keep them fresh, and easy to unroll after microwaving. Plastic wrap sticks together so well that it's a wrestling match getting the heated flautas out after microwaving.
    • Purchase the bacon already cooked to save a lot of time.
