For the Sausage
- 1 package breakfast sausage (about 12 ounces)
For the Eggs
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
For Assembly
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Cook the Sausage: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Crumble the breakfast sausage into the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer sausage to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the eggs are fully combined and smooth.
- Scramble the Eggs: In the same skillet used for the sausage, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and let it cook undisturbed for a few moments until the edges begin to set. Gently stir with a spatula from the outside towards the center, cooking until the eggs are cooked through but still soft and creamy.
- Add Sausage and Cheese: Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly combined.
- Assemble the Roll-Ups: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spoon the egg, sausage, and cheese mixture evenly down the center of each tortilla.
- Roll the Tortillas: Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll up tightly from the bottom to wrap the filling securely inside. Repeat with all tortillas.
- Optional: Toast the Roll-Ups: If you like, heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place the roll-ups seam side down in the pan for 1-2 minutes to lightly toast and crisp the tortillas.
- Serve: Serve the breakfast roll-ups warm. Enjoy them fresh or wrap them in foil to enjoy on the go.
Notes
- You can substitute turkey sausage or vegetarian sausage for a lighter or meatless version.
- Try adding sautéed bell peppers, spinach, or onions for extra flavor and nutrition.
- The roll-ups can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to a month.
- To reheat, microwave for 1-2 minutes or warm in a skillet until heated through.
- Use your favorite cheese, like pepper jack or mozzarella, for a different taste.
