Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 breakfast sausage links or 1 cup cooked sausage crumbles
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or preferred melty cheese
  • 4 medium flour tortillas
  • 1 tbsp butter or oil for cooking
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Variations

  • Sautéed mushrooms or plant-based sausage (vegetarian alternative)
  • Diced jalapeños or hot sauce (for a spicy kick)
  • Spinach, bell peppers, or tomatoes (extra veggies)
  • Vegan cheese and olive oil instead of butter (dairy-free)
  • Pepper jack, feta, or gouda cheese (different cheese options)

Instructions

  1. Cook the sausage: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it up into crumbles. Drain excess grease to avoid oily roll-ups.
  2. Scramble the eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper. Pour into the skillet with butter or oil and scramble gently until just set but still moist.
  3. Combine eggs and sausage: Mix the cooked sausage back into the eggs in the skillet, stirring evenly. Remove from heat to prevent overcooking.
  4. Prepare the tortillas: Warm the tortillas briefly in a pan or microwave until pliable to prevent cracking when rolling.
  5. Assemble roll-ups: Lay each tortilla flat and sprinkle cheese evenly over the surface. Spoon the sausage and egg mixture on top, then roll the tortilla up tightly.
  6. Optional melting step: Place assembled roll-ups seam-side down in a hot skillet and cook 1–2 minutes per side until cheese melts and tortillas turn golden brown.

Notes

  • Use warm tortillas to prevent tearing while rolling.
  • Don’t overcook the eggs to keep them moist and creamy inside the roll-ups.
  • Choose quality sausage for the best flavor impact.
  • Roll up tightly to keep filling intact and minimize mess.
  • Consider adding fresh herbs like chives or parsley for extra flavor.
