How Do You Make a Burger King-Style Breakfast Burrito? (Quick Answer)
Crisp hash browns and bacon, brown sausage to 160°F (71°C) and softly scramble eggs to 165°F (74°C). Layer American cheese, eggs, sausage, bacon, hash browns and a mayo-hot sauce blend on a warm 12-inch tortilla, roll tightly and toast seam-side down.
At a glance
The one tip that matters: Cook the hash browns until truly crisp and add them last, right under the sauce. Those crunchy potatoes are what make this taste like the drive-thru burrito instead of a soft egg wrap. Crunch is king!
Why You'll Love This Breakfast Burrito
- Three proteins: sausage, bacon and fluffy scrambled eggs.
- Crispy hash browns tucked inside for crunch in every bite.
- Creamy spicy sauce that ties it all together in 2 minutes.
- Freezer friendly: wrap and freeze for grab-and-go breakfasts.
- Big enough to share, or to keep you full until lunch.
What Makes This Burrito Egg-Normous?
Burger King's Egg-Normous Burrito has come and gone from the breakfast menu depending on where you live, so it's handy to have a copycat. It is all about the size and the crunch: a burrito-size tortilla, two breakfast meats, plenty of egg and crispy hash browns rolled right inside. The creamy, mildly spicy sauce keeps every bite moist.
Make your own copycat Burger King hash brown rounds for the filling, or use frozen. More drive-thru breakfasts are in our Burger King copycat recipes.

Tips for Success
- Use 12-inch tortillas. Smaller ones can't hold this much goodness and will split when you roll.
- Warm the tortillas first. A cold tortilla cracks; 15 to 20 seconds of heat makes it soft and stretchy.
- Scramble low and slow. Medium-low heat keeps the eggs tender and fluffy while they cook through to 165°F (74°C).
- Drain the meat well. Grease from the sausage and bacon makes the tortilla soggy. Pat it down!
- Keep the hash browns crisp. Cook them last or keep them in a warm oven so they're crunchy when you roll.
- Toast seam-side down. It seals the burrito shut so it doesn't unroll when you slice it.

minutesA Burger King-inspired Egg-Normous Burrito: a 12-inch flour tortilla packed with scrambled eggs, crumbled sausage, crisp bacon, crispy hash browns, American cheese and a creamy spicy sauce, then toasted seam-side down. Sausage cooked to 160°F, eggs to 165°F. Makes 4 large burritos.
Ingredients
- For the Creamy Spicy Sauce
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Louisiana-style hot sauce
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- For the Filling
2 cups frozen hash brown rounds or tots (or homemade hash brown rounds)
8 oz bulk breakfast sausage
6 bacon slices
8 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon butter
to taste salt and black pepper
8 American cheese slices
4 large flour tortillas, 12-inch (burrito size)
Directions
- Prep the Fillings
- Whisk the mayonnaise, hot sauce, smoked paprika and garlic powder in a small bowl. Refrigerate until needed.
- Bake or air fry the hash browns according to the package directions (or fry homemade rounds) until crisp and golden. Keep warm.
- Cook the bacon in a large skillet until crisp, then drain and chop it. Brown the sausage in the same skillet, breaking it into crumbles, until no pink remains and it reaches 160°F (71°C). Drain on paper towels.
- Whisk the eggs with the milk, salt and pepper. Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and scramble the eggs gently until no liquid egg remains and they reach 165°F (74°C).
- Roll and Toast
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or the microwave for 15 to 20 seconds so they are soft and flexible.
- Lay 2 cheese slices across the center of each tortilla. Top with a quarter of the eggs, sausage, bacon and hash browns, then drizzle with 1 tablespoon of sauce.
- Fold the bottom edge over the filling, fold in both sides, then roll up tightly.
- Toast the burritos seam-side down in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until golden and sealed. Cut in half and serve hot.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is in a Burger King Egg-Normous Burrito?
The burrito this copycat is inspired by is a big breakfast wrap with eggs, breakfast meats, hash browns, cheese and a creamy spicy sauce. This version uses sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs, crispy hash browns, American cheese and a mayo-hot sauce blend.
How do you freeze breakfast burritos?
Let the fillings cool completely before rolling, skip the toasting step, then wrap each burrito tightly in plastic wrap or foil and freeze in a bag for up to 2 months. Leave the sauce out if you prefer, and serve it on the side.
How do you reheat a frozen breakfast burrito?
Unwrap it, wrap it in a damp paper towel and microwave for 2 to 3 minutes, turning halfway, until the center reaches 165°F (74°C). Crisp it in a skillet for 1 minute per side if you like.
Can I make it ahead for the week?
Yes. Refrigerate rolled burritos for up to 4 days and reheat until hot in the center (165°F / 74°C). The hash browns soften a little but still taste good.
Can I make it less spicy?
Cut the hot sauce in half or replace the sauce with plain mayonnaise mixed with a squeeze of ketchup.
Can I use turkey sausage or skip the meat?
Turkey sausage works; cook it to 165°F (74°C). For a vegetarian burrito, skip the meat and add sauteed peppers and onions.
