How to make Starbucks Bacon, Sausage & Egg Wrap

The Starbucks Bacon, Sausage & Egg Wrap is a hot breakfast item designed to be quick, filling, and easy to eat on the go.

Ingredients

• 2 large flour tortillas (10–12 inch, burrito-size works best)
• 4 slices of bacon (preferably thick-cut or double-smoked)
• 2 breakfast sausages or ~4 oz (110–120 g) ground breakfast sausage
• 4 large eggs
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a cheddar blend)
• 1 medium potato, diced small (or 1 cup frozen breakfast potatoes/hash browns)
• 2 tbsp milk or cream (optional, for fluffier eggs)
• 1–2 tbsp butter or oil (for cooking)
• Seasoning (adjust to your taste)
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• ¼ tsp garlic powder (optional)
• ¼ tsp onion powder (optional)
• ¼ tsp smoked paprika (optional, adds a nice smoky touch)
• A handful of baby spinach or kale, roughly chopped
• ¼ small onion, finely diced
• Hot sauce or sriracha
• Salsa or pico de gallo
• Extra cheese – Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or mozzarella
• Avocado slices (added at the end, not cooked inside)

Instructions

1. Prep your ingredients

1. Dice the potato into small cubes (about ½ inch) for faster cooking.
2. Grate the cheese if you’re using a block.
3. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add milk/cream, a pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk until well combined.
4. Having everything prepped before you start cooking makes the process smoother and prevents overcooking.

2. Cook the bacon

1. Place a skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the bacon slices in a single layer.
3. Cook until crispy but not burnt, flipping occasionally (about 6–8 minutes).
4. Remove bacon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
5. Reserve 1–2 teaspoons of bacon fat in the pan for extra flavor (optional but highly recommended).
6. You can cut or crumble the bacon into bite-size pieces once it cools slightly.

3. Cook the sausage

1. In the same pan (with a bit of bacon fat left in it), add the sausage.
2. If using links, remove casings and break up the meat with a spatula as it cooks.
3. Cook over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes.
4. Season lightly with pepper and a pinch of smoked paprika or garlic powder if you like.
5. Transfer the sausage to a bowl and set aside.

4. Cook the potatoes

1. In the same skillet, add a bit of oil or butter if the pan looks dry.
2. Add the diced potatoes (and onions, if using).
3. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika (optional).
4. Cook over medium to medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until:
5. crispy on the edges, tender in the center
6. (about 10–15 minutes, depending on size and stovetop).
7. If using frozen hash browns, follow the package directions but season them similarly for flavor.

5. Scramble the eggs

1. Wipe out the skillet lightly if needed, or use a clean non-stick pan.
2. Add 1 tbsp butter or oil and heat over medium-low heat.
3. Pour in the whisked eggs.
4. Let them sit for a few seconds, then gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center with a spatula.
5. Continue gently stirring until they form soft curds and are just set but still slightly glossy (they’ll continue cooking in the wrap).
6. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
7. Soft, slightly undercooked eggs are key—they won’t turn rubbery when reheated.

6. Warm the tortillas

1. Heat a clean skillet over medium heat.
2. Place one tortilla in the pan for about 15–20 seconds per side, just until warm and pliable.
3. Keep them warm under a clean kitchen towel or in foil while you build the wraps.
4. Warm tortillas are much easier to fold and less likely to tear.

7. Assemble the wraps

1. For each wrap:
   • Lay a warm tortilla flat on your work surface.
   • Layer in this order (leaving space at the edges for folding):
     • A small handful of potatoes in the center
     • Scrambled eggs (about half the mixture)
     • Sausage
     • Bacon pieces
     • Shredded cheese
     • Optional: a few leaves of spinach, a drizzle of hot sauce, or a spoon of salsa
2. Be careful not to overfill; too much filling makes it hard to wrap.
3. How to fold like a burrito:
   • Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling.
   • Fold the bottom edge up and over the filling.
   • Roll tightly from the bottom to the top, tucking the filling as you go.

8. Toast the wrap (optional but highly recommended)

1. To mimic that café-style finish:
   • Heat a clean skillet over medium heat.
   • Place the Starbucks Bacon, Sausage & Egg Wrap seam-side down in the dry skillet.
2. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until:
   • The tortilla is lightly golden
   • The cheese inside is starting to melt
3. Serve warm.

Ingredients Substitutes

Substituting ingredients in the Starbucks Bacon, Sausage & Egg Wrap is a great way to cater to personal preferences, dietary needs, or use what you already have.

1. Flour Tortilla

If you don’t have large flour tortillas—or want alternative options—try these substitutes:

• Whole wheat tortillas: For a healthier, higher-fiber option.
• Low-carb tortillas: Perfect for keto-friendly or low-carb diets.
• Corn tortillas: Smaller wraps, but great for a gluten-free option (you may need to use more tortillas due to smaller size).
• Spinach or tomato-flavored tortillas: Add extra color and mild flavor.
• Lavash bread or flatbread: Works well for wraps, though slightly thinner than flour tortillas.

2. Bacon

If you’re looking to swap out bacon, choose from these alternatives:

• Turkey bacon: A leaner option with less fat and fewer calories.
• Chicken bacon: Similar to turkey bacon but lighter in flavor.
• Vegetarian bacon substitutes: Brands like MorningStar Farms or Lightlife offer plant-based bacon substitutes with smoky flavor.
• Prosciutto or pancetta: For a more gourmet twist. Cook until crispy for the best texture.

3. Sausage

For sausage, you have several alternatives depending on flavor preferences and dietary needs:

• Chicken or turkey sausage: A leaner version with less saturated fat.
• Vegetarian or vegan sausage: Brands like Beyond Meat or Impossible make excellent sausage alternatives for meat-free diets.
• Chorizo: Adds a spicy kick and an extra depth of smokiness.
• Ground pork or beef: Cook and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika to mimic breakfast sausage.
• Tofu or tempeh crumbles: Season generously with spices (such as smoked paprika, onion powder, and black pepper) for an umami-packed vegan substitute.

4. Eggs

Eggs are central to this Starbucks Bacon, Sausage & Egg Wrap, but there are options if you want to substitute or change them:

• Egg whites: Lower in calories and cholesterol—use about 2–3 egg whites per egg as a substitute.
• Liquid egg substitutes: Most grocery stores carry low-fat, cholesterol-free egg alternatives (e.g., Egg Beaters).
• Vegan egg substitutes: Brands like JUST Egg are excellent plant-based alternatives for scrambled eggs.
• Tofu scramble: Great for vegans—crumble firm tofu and season with turmeric, black salt (for an “eggy” flavor), garlic powder, and black pepper.

5. Cheddar Cheese

Cheddar adds a creamy, melty texture, but several substitutes work just as well:

• Mozzarella: Mild and stretchy—a good alternative, especially if you prefer a less sharp flavor.
• Monterey Jack: Melts beautifully and has a creamier, less tangy flavor profile.
• Pepper Jack: Adds a bit of spice for those who enjoy some heat.
• Swiss cheese: Mild and nutty flavor, though slightly firmer in texture.
• Vegan cheese: Brands like Violife, Daiya, or Follow Your Heart offer great dairy-free cheese options that melt well.
• Shredded parmesan blend: For a sharper, slightly saltier flavor.

6. Potatoes

If you don’t have potatoes or prefer a different base, try these substitutes:

• Frozen hash browns: Convenient and prepped; you can cook them with a quick pan-fry or in the oven.
• Sweet potatoes: Dice and roast or skillet-cook for a healthier and sweeter twist.
• Cauliflower florets or rice: Roast or sauté as a low-carb substitute for potatoes.
• Butternut squash: Dice and roast for a slightly sweet and earthy flavor.
• Quinoa or rice: Adds texture while keeping the Starbucks Bacon, Sausage & Egg Wrap lighter.

7. Butter or Oil

For scrambling eggs and cooking other fillings, there are plenty of alternatives:

• Cooking spray: A low-fat option to prevent sticking without added calories.
• Plant-based butter: Great for vegans or those avoiding dairy.
• Olive oil: Adds a light, fruity flavor.
• Avocado oil: Neutral in flavor and suitable for high-heat cooking.
• Coconut oil: Use in moderation to avoid overpowering flavors (pairs nicely with sweet potatoes).
