Ingredients
(You’ll find the full list of ingredients below)
- Breakfast sausage
- Eggs
- Flour tortillas
- Shredded cheese
- Salt and pepper
- Cooking spray or oil for frying
Directions
Step 1: Cook the Sausage
Start by heating a skillet over medium heat. Crumble your breakfast sausage into the skillet and cook until it’s browned and fully cooked through. Make sure to break up the sausage into small pieces while cooking. Once it’s done, transfer it to a plate and set it aside.
Step 2: Scramble the Eggs
In the same skillet, reduce the heat slightly, and crack your eggs into a bowl. Whisk them together with a pinch of salt and pepper, then pour them into the skillet. Stir frequently, cooking the eggs until they’re scrambled and just set. You want them soft and fluffy, not overcooked.
Step 3: Assemble the Roll-Ups
Now, it’s time to put everything together! Lay out your flour tortillas on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the cooked sausage and scrambled eggs down the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese on top (because cheese makes everything better, right?). Then, carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly.
Step 4: Toast the Roll-Ups
In the same skillet, lightly spray or coat with oil. Place your roll-ups seam side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden brown and crispy. This step will give your roll-ups that nice, crunchy exterior that holds everything together perfectly.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Once they’re crispy and golden, remove the roll-ups from the skillet and cut them in half if you prefer bite-sized pieces. Serve them immediately while they’re warm, or pack them up for later!
Expert Tips and Tricks
- Customize with Veggies: Feel free to add in some sautéed onions, bell peppers, or spinach to the egg mixture to give the roll-ups extra flavor and a bit of greenery.
- Use Different Sausage: Not a fan of breakfast sausage? Try using turkey sausage, chicken sausage, or even crumbled bacon for a different take on the recipe.
- Make Ahead: These roll-ups are perfect for meal prep! Assemble and cook them ahead of time, then store them in the fridge. To reheat, just pop them in the microwave for a quick breakfast on the go, or crisp them up in the skillet again.
Recipe Variations and Possible Substitutions
- Cheese Substitution: While cheddar cheese is great, you can swap it out for Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or even a spicy pepper jack for some kick.
- Gluten-Free Version: You can easily make these roll-ups gluten-free by using gluten-free tortillas. Just make sure to check the label if you’re sensitive to gluten.
- Vegan Version: For a vegan version, swap the eggs for scrambled tofu, the sausage for plant-based sausage, and use dairy-free cheese.
Serving and Pairing Suggestions
These breakfast roll-ups are perfect on their own, but if you’re looking to add a little more to your meal, pair them with a side of fresh fruit or a smoothie for a balanced breakfast. You can also serve them with a side of salsa or hot sauce if you like a little extra heat in the morning.
Storage and Reheating Tips
If you have leftovers (which is unlikely!), store the roll-ups in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply microwave them for about 30 seconds or toast them in a skillet to get that crispy texture back. You can also freeze them for up to a month—just wrap them in foil or plastic wrap and store them in a freezer-safe bag. When you’re ready, thaw them overnight and reheat as usual.
FAQs
- Can I make these without cheese?
Yes, absolutely! If you’re dairy-free or just not a cheese fan, you can skip it and still enjoy a delicious breakfast. - Can I use scrambled egg whites instead of whole eggs?
Of course! If you want to make these a little lighter, feel free to use egg whites. They’ll still taste great and work just as well. - How can I make these spicier?
If you like a little spice, try adding diced jalapeños to the egg mixture or use a spicy sausage. You could also drizzle hot sauce over the roll-ups before serving. - Can I make these in advance?
Definitely! You can prepare the sausage and scrambled eggs ahead of time and store them in the fridge. Then, just assemble and cook the roll-ups when you’re ready to enjoy them.
