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)
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Assemble the Roll-Ups: Lay a warm tortilla flat, then layer on cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, and a generous amount of shredded cheese.
- 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.
