Making Sausage Egg Cheddar Roll-Ups from Start to Finish
Cook Sausage
Warm up a large skillet at medium heat (325°F). Break 1 package of breakfast sausage into small chunks directly into the pan. Stir the meat every minute or two until it turns golden brown and completely cooked through, which takes about 6 minutes. Move the cooked sausage onto a paper towel to drain away extra grease.
Prepare Egg Mixture
Melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in the same skillet at medium-low heat (300°F). Grab a mixing bowl and crack 6 large eggs into it. Add these ingredients:
Whisk everything together until the mixture looks smooth and uniform.
Cook Scrambled Eggs
Pour the egg mixture into the butter-coated skillet. Let the edges start setting, then gently pull the eggs from the outside toward the center using a spatula. Keep cooking and stirring until the eggs look soft and creamy, about 3 minutes.
Combine Filling
Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the cooked sausage and 120 g shredded cheddar cheese until everything is evenly mixed.
Assemble Roll-Ups
Spread 6 large flour tortillas on a clean counter. Divide the egg, sausage, and cheese mixture across the center of each tortilla. Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll from the bottom up to seal the filling inside.
Toast Roll-Ups
Heat a nonstick skillet at medium heat (350°F). Place the roll-ups seam-side down and toast for 1-2 minutes per side until the tortillas turn golden and crisp. Serve these warm breakfast roll-ups right away.

How do I prevent my tortillas from getting soggy?
Pat cooked sausage and scrambled eggs dry with paper towels before adding to tortillas to reduce excess moisture.
