The “quick breakfast” recipes is so popular that I’m posting two more of them.  AS I said before, if you’re rushed every morning or are an equally pressed-for-time college student, give these a try.

BREAKFAST WRAP

1 whole wheat flour tortilla

2 large California Fresh Eggs

2 oz  hash browns

1 oz  Jack cheese -- grated

Warm tortilla.  Scramble eggs.  Fill tortilla with hash browns, scrambled eggs and cheese.  Fold and close wrap.

 

And another quick one:

 

EASY SPEEDY OMELET

2 large California Fresh Eggs

2 tbsp water

1 tbsp butter or margarine

½ cup filling (½ to 1 cup)

For each omelet, beat together 2 large California fresh eggs and 2 tbsp of water. In 7-10" omelet pan or skillet, over medium heat, heat 1 tbsp butter or margarine until just hot enough to sizzle a drop of water. Pour in egg mixture. Mixture should set immediately at edges.  With an inverted pancake turner, carefully push cooked portions at edges toward center so uncooked portions can reach hot pan surface. While drawing cooked portions toward center, tilt pan and move cooked portions as necessary.  While top is still moist and creamy-looking, spoon about ½ to 1 cup filling on one side of omelet. With pancake turner, fold unfilled side of omelet over filling. Don't worry if it tears. When flipped onto plate, any tears won't be visible.  Slide omelet from pan onto plate or invert onto plate with a quick flip of the wrist.
