Ingredients
Filling
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For Assembly
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Butter or oil for greasing the pan
Directions
1. Cook the Sausage
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage and cook until browned, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain excess grease and set aside.
2. Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
3. Scramble the Eggs
Grease the skillet with a little butter or oil. Pour in the egg mixture and cook over medium-low heat, stirring gently until soft, fluffy, and just set. Remove from heat.
4. Combine Eggs and Sausage
Add the cooked sausage to the scrambled eggs and gently fold together. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted through.
5. Assemble the Roll-Ups
Warm the tortillas slightly to make them easier to fold. Spoon the sausage-egg mixture into the center of each tortilla. Roll tightly like a burrito, folding in the sides.
6. Optional Toasting
For extra flavor and crispness, return the roll-ups to the skillet seam-side down and toast for 1–2 minutes per side until golden.
7. Serve Warm
Serve immediately, or cool and store for meal prep.
Tips for Best Results
- Warm tortillas before filling to prevent cracking.
- Don’t overcook the eggs—they should stay soft for best texture.
- Use a mix of cheeses (cheddar, pepper jack, mozzarella) for extra flavor.
- Add veggies like peppers, onions, spinach, or mushrooms for more nutrition.
- Toast the roll-ups in the pan for a crispier finish.
