Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- 6 large eggs
- 4 large flour tortillas
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup milk
Seasonings:
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Greasing:
- Butter or oil
Instructions
- Grab a large skillet and set it over medium heat. Crumble 1 lb of breakfast sausage into small pieces while cooking, stirring occasionally until the meat browns completely and reaches 160°F internal temperature.
- Transfer the cooked sausage to a clean plate, keeping the skillet ready for the next step.
- Whisk 6 large eggs, ¼ cup milk, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper in a mixing bowl until the mixture looks smooth and well-blended.
- Add 1 tablespoon butter to the same skillet over medium-low heat. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and gently stir, creating soft scrambled eggs that are just set but not dry.
- Lay 4 large flour tortillas flat on your work surface. Divide the cooked sausage evenly across the tortillas, spreading it near one edge.
- Top the sausage with scrambled eggs, then sprinkle 2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese over each tortilla.
- Roll each tortilla tightly from the filled edge, tucking in the sides to prevent filling from falling out.
- Return the skillet to medium heat with another tablespoon of butter. Place roll-ups seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes, rotating to create a golden-brown exterior.
- Remove the roll-ups from heat, slice diagonally into bite-sized portions, and serve immediately while warm and crispy.
Notes
- Sausage selection matters most, so choose a flavor-packed breakfast sausage that will give rich taste to your roll-ups.
- Scrambling eggs slowly over medium-low heat helps prevent tough, rubbery texture and keeps them soft and creamy.
- Warming tortillas briefly before rolling makes them more flexible and reduces cracking when you fold and cook the roll-ups.
- For a healthier version, swap regular tortillas with whole wheat, use turkey sausage, and add some diced bell peppers or spinach for extra nutrition.
