California Roll Breakfast Sushi

This is a really easy recipe for California Roll inspired breakfast sushi that’s done in just a few minutes with only a few ingredients needed.  A definite kid pleaser!  And husbands too.

This week on Top Chef the Quickfire Challenge was “impress a sushi master”.  Probably one of the hardest challenges yet.  I mean, sushi masters are incredible with their knife skills, flavor profiles and presentation.  I would be sweating bullets if I was in that kitchen!  How about you?

Chef Joshua Valentine got my wheels spinning when he whipped out the bacon.  Bacon + Sushi = unheard of….but he could be on to something.  Had he gone the more breakfast route – maybe he would’ve impressed chef Katsuya Uechi a little more and not ended up in the bottom?  Who knows!  I did love that Brooke made Tako (octopus).  That’s my sons favorite sushi (he’s 11 – go figure).

A rolled up tortilla stuffed with bacon may not impress a world class sushi master, but it will definitely impress the little foodies in your house.  It definitely did mine.   Only complaint – the hubs wished there was more!

This is my version of the Quickfire challenge to impress a sushi master.  

Think “California Omelette” wrapped in a flour tortilla, rolled up tight and drizzled with a spicy Sriracha sour cream.   Oishii !!  (that’s delicious in Japanese)

Ingredients

  

0.5x1x2x3x

• 4 eggs divided
• 6 tablespoons milk divided
• 4 tablespoons jack cheese divided
• cooking spray
• 2 flour tortillas I used carb balance wheat tortillas
• 4 strips crisp bacon
• ½ large avocado sliced
• ½ large tomato sliced

For the Spicy Sour Cream:

• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• 1 tablespoon sriracha or other hot sauce
• 1 teaspoon milk

Instructions

• Coat a medium skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. In a small bowl whisk 2 eggs and 3 tablespoons milk until incorporated. Pour into the hot skillet. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cheese and cook without stirring for 3-5 minutes, until the top is no longer wet. You may need to turn the heat down so you don’t burn the bottom.
• Place the tortilla over the egg and gently flip them out on to a cutting board. Place 2 strips of bacon in the bottom 1/4 of the tortilla (closest to you). Top with 1/2 of the sliced avocado and tomato. Roll up as tightly and gently as you can. Allow to rest for a second and then slice with a sharp knife into sushi rolls. Repeat the process with the remaining eggs, cheese, etc.
• In a small bowl mix the sour cream, sriracha and milk. Drizzle over the sushi rolls and serve immediately.
