Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Roll-Ups are a fun, portable breakfast option that’s perfect for busy mornings or meal prepping. These roll-ups combine savory sausage, scrambled eggs, and melted cheese wrapped in a warm, soft tortilla. They’re satisfying and delicious!
Ingredients:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 lb (450 g) breakfast sausage (bulk or links, casings removed)
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (60 g) shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese)
- 1 tbsp butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup milk or cream (optional, for fluffier eggs)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking the sausage)
- 1 tsp garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Cook the Sausage:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
- Once the oil is hot, add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, for 5-7 minutes until fully cooked and browned.
- Drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside.
- Scramble the Eggs:
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk (if using), salt, and pepper.
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
- Pour in the eggs and cook, stirring gently, until they are just set and scrambled to your liking (about 2-3 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheese until melted and combined.
- Assemble the Roll-Ups:
- Lay out the flour tortillas on a flat surface.
- Divide the cooked sausage evenly among the tortillas, placing it in the center of each.
- Add a generous scoop of scrambled eggs and cheese on top of the sausage.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly to secure the filling.
- Cook the Roll-Ups (Optional for Crispy Wrap):
- If you want a slightly crispy exterior, return the roll-ups to the skillet.
- Cook them over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Serve:
- Slice the roll-ups in half for easy eating, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve warm with salsa, hot sauce, or avocado on the side for extra flavor.
Tips:
- To make this recipe ahead of time, prepare the roll-ups, wrap them in foil, and refrigerate. Reheat in the oven or microwave when ready to serve.
- Add vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or onions to the scrambled eggs for extra flavor and nutrients.
- For a spicier version, try using chorizo sausage or adding jalapeños to the egg mixture.
