    Variations

    We have a couple other delicious Breakfast Flautas recipes also. Try our Pepperoni Pizza Breakfast Flautas or our Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Breakfast Flautas.

    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

    • Wrap these breakfast roll ups 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 is a wrestling match getting the heated roll up out after microwaving.
    • Be sure to get the thin sliced deli meats and cheeses, otherwise these can get too thick to roll up easily.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I freeze these also?

    Yes, these Monte Cristo roll ups are perfect for freezing ahead. Just put them on a tray and reheat them in your oven or microwave.
