Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Add Sausage and Cheese: Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly combined.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
