- 8 tablespoons jalapeño cream cheese, softened
- 4 teaspoons butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Cook the Chicken Sausages:
-
Heat the Skillet:
- Place an 11- to 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken sausages to the skillet.
-
Sear the Sausages:
- Sear the sausages, turning occasionally, until they are heated through and slightly browned.
- Once cooked, transfer them to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
Prepare the Egg Wraps:
-
Prepare the Eggs:
- Wipe the skillet clean with a damp paper towel.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl, ensuring you have 2 cups of eggs. Add ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Whisk the eggs thoroughly until frothy.
-
Cook the Egg Wraps:
- Add 1 teaspoon of butter to the skillet and let it melt over medium heat.
- Pour in ½ cup of the egg mixture and swirl the pan to form an 11- to 12-inch circle.
- Cook for about 1–2 minutes until the egg is mostly set, then carefully flip the egg wrap using a large spatula.
- Cook for an additional 30–60 seconds on the other side.
-
Repeat:
- Slide the cooked egg crepe onto a cutting board and repeat with the remaining egg mixture to make 4 egg wraps in total.
Assemble the Wraps:
-
Prepare the Avocado and Cream Cheese:
- Lay each egg wrap flat and scoop ½ an avocado onto the center of each wrap.
- Spread the avocado into a thin, even layer.
- Spread 2 tablespoons of jalapeño cream cheese over the avocado.
-
Add the Chicken Sausage:
- Place 1 chicken sausage on top of each egg wrap.
- Fold the sides inward and then roll the wrap, tucking the sides as you go to form a burrito shape.
Serve:
-
Serve Warm or at Room Temperature:
- Once assembled, the wraps can be served immediately while warm or stored and enjoyed at room temperature.
