One of my sisters came to visit for a week in August. My family went through Dunkin’ Donuts drive through almost every day to grab breakfast before we went on our daily road trip. Even though I usually have just a cup of decaf in the morning, the smell of all the food in the car was so good, I had to order something too. I lived on sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast wraps that week. It was so simple but so good!
This wrap was inspired by my week of eating breakfast at the drive through. Even though one is substantial enough to leave you feeling satisfied, it’s so good, you are going to want two! Within each wrap is breaded chicken tender, over-easy (or over-medium) egg, shredded cheddar, and pickled hot jalapeño peppers. I love the zinginess and kick the peppers add. They really make the wrap. They are not very spicy on the heat index, but if you’re not a fan of heat, use a mild pepper or omit (but don’t do it!).
Make ahead and reheat:
The wraps can be made ahead of time and packaged individually. Reheat 30-45 seconds in the microwave for a quick breakfast on the run.
Are the chicken tenders baked or fried?
I like to shallow fry for crispier breading, but the tenders are delicious baked. Skillet cook on medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes or bake at 375°F for 15-20 minutes. The chicken is done when the juices run clear and has an internal temperature of 165°F.
How long to cook the egg?
Serve these wraps with over-easy or over-medium eggs. For best results, use a non-stick skillet on medium heat with a little oil (or butter) added. Cook the egg for roughly 3 minutes or until the white is set. Flip over using a spatula and cook for 1 minute for over-easy, runny yolk. For over-medium, add an extra 1 minute. If you prefer your egg over-hard, keep it on the heat for a just a little longer. As for me, I prefer the ooey-gooey yolks!
That’s it for this week my virtual friends. Wishing you all well! See you next time!!
