- Heat a splash of olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat for 1 minute.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly with a spatula.
- When eggs form soft curds but remain slightly wet, remove from heat immediately.
- Lay one phyllo sheet on a clean surface and lightly brush with olive oil using a pastry brush.
- Layer a second phyllo sheet on top and brush lightly with more olive oil.
- Spoon one-quarter of the cooked eggs onto the lower third of the phyllo stack.
- Top eggs with 2-3 thin avocado slices and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Fold the bottom edge of phyllo over the filling, then fold in both sides.
- Roll tightly away from you to form a burrito shape, sealing the final edge with a dab of water.
- Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet and brush the top with olive oil.
- Repeat steps 6-12 with remaining phyllo sheets and filling to make 4 burritos total.
- Bake at 375°F for 12-15 minutes until phyllo turns golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes before handling.
Zesty avocado cuts through the rich eggs while the phyllo provides satisfying crunch in every bite. These hold their shape beautifully when sliced diagonally for brunch plating. Try drizzling with hot sauce or serving alongside fresh fruit for balanced morning fuel.
