Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- ½ pound breakfast sausage
- 4 large eggs
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter
Seasonings:
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
Instructions
- Heat a skillet to 350°F. Break ½ pound sausage into small crumbles directly in the pan.
- Cook sausage for 6-8 minutes, stirring often, until golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Transfer sausage to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- Whisk 4 large eggs with ¼ teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon black pepper in a mixing bowl until smooth.
- Pour whisked eggs into the same skillet. Scramble for 2-3 minutes, creating soft egg curds.
- Microwave 4 flour tortillas for 15 seconds to make them flexible and easy to fold.
- Layer 1 cheese slice on each tortilla. Spread sausage and scrambled eggs evenly across the cheese.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in the skillet at 325°F.
- Roll each tortilla tightly, folding sides inward to create compact bundles.
- Grill roll-ups in buttered skillet for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn crispy and golden brown.
- Optional: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon chopped chives on top for added freshness. Serve hot and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Use high-quality sausage for the best flavor, as it’s the star of these breakfast roll-ups.
- Make sure to drain the sausage well to prevent soggy tortillas that can fall apart when rolling.
- Work quickly when assembling the roll-ups to keep the cheese melting and eggs warm inside.
- For a healthier version, swap flour tortillas with whole wheat or low-carb alternatives and use turkey sausage instead of pork.
