Start your morning quickly and deliciously with these Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Roll-Ups, combining savory sausage, fluffy eggs, and melty cheese wrapped in warm flour tortillas. Perfect for busy days, portable meals, and customizable to fit your taste or dietary needs.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Breakfast sausage: 4 oz ground sausage or pre-cooked links crumbled
  • Eggs: 4 large fresh eggs
  • Cheese: 1 cup shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite meltable cheese
  • Flour tortillas: 4 large soft but sturdy tortillas
  • Butter or oil: 1 tablespoon for cooking
  • Salt and pepper: to taste

Optional Variations

  • Veggie boost: ½ cup diced bell peppers, onions, or spinach (optional)
  • Spicy twist: Jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce (optional to taste)
  • Cheese swap: Pepper jack or feta cheese as alternatives (optional)
  • Meat alternatives: Turkey sausage or bacon instead of breakfast sausage (optional)
  • Gluten-free option: Substitute regular tortillas with gluten-free wraps or large leafy greens like collard or romaine leaves

Instructions

  1. Cook the Sausage: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground sausage or crumbled links and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain excess grease and set aside.
  2. Scramble the Eggs: In the same skillet, add butter or oil. Whisk eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper, then pour into the pan. Stir gently until soft curds form and the eggs are just cooked through but remain moist.
  3. Warm the Tortillas: Briefly warm the flour tortillas in a dry pan or microwave for a few seconds until pliable and easy to roll.
  4. Assemble the Roll-Ups: Lay out each tortilla and layer cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, and a generous sprinkle of cheese. The warmth will help melt the cheese and blend the flavors.
  5. Roll and Serve: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly to encase the filling. For a crispy exterior, return roll-ups to the skillet for 1-2 minutes per side, or serve warm immediately for a soft bite.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for more even scrambling and fluffier texture.
  • Don’t overcook eggs; keep them slightly soft to avoid dryness inside roll-ups.
  • Press roll-ups lightly in the pan while reheating to melt cheese and crisp tortillas.
  • Prep the filling (sausage and eggs) ahead of time for quick morning assembly.
  • Choose large flour tortillas for best rolling and filling containment.
