Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 mild or spicy breakfast sausage links or 8 oz ground sausage
  • 4 large fresh eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or preferred melting cheese
  • 4 soft tortillas or flatbreads
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil for cooking

Optional Spices and Add-ins

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional herbs (e.g., parsley, chives)
  • Optional diced bell peppers, spinach, or onions (for veggie boost)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Sausage: Heat a skillet over medium heat and crumble the sausage into the pan. Cook thoroughly until browned and no longer pink, then drain excess grease for a cleaner flavor.
  2. Prepare the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add a little butter or oil to the skillet and scramble the eggs gently until just set but still moist.
  3. Warm the Tortillas: Warm tortillas or flatbreads in the microwave for about 15 seconds or on a dry skillet for 10 seconds per side to make rolling easier and prevent cracking.
  4. Assemble the Roll-Ups: Lay a warm tortilla flat, then layer on cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, and a generous amount of shredded cheese.
  5. Roll and Melt: Roll the tortilla tightly to encase the fillings. Place the roll-ups seam-side down in a warm skillet for one to two minutes until golden and the cheese begins to melt.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality sausage, eggs, and cheese for the best flavor.
  • Keep scrambled eggs slightly moist to ensure tender roll-ups.
  • Warm tortillas thoroughly to prevent cracking while rolling.
  • Seal edges with cheese or an egg wash to keep roll-ups intact.
  • Customize by mixing herbs or sautéed veggies into the eggs for added flavor and nutrition.
