Instructions
- Brown 1 lb of pork breakfast sausage in a large skillet at medium-high heat, crumbling it into small pieces until fully cooked.
- Drain most grease, keeping a thin layer in the skillet for cooking.
- Whisk 6 large eggs, ¼ cup milk, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper in a medium bowl until thoroughly blended.

- Scramble eggs and sausage together for 3-4 minutes at medium heat until eggs are just set but still slightly moist.
- Transfer egg and sausage mixture to a plate, allowing it to cool for 2-3 minutes.
- Microwave 6 large flour tortillas for 15-20 seconds to make them soft and flexible.
- Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly across the center of each tortilla.
- Distribute sausage and egg mixture equally among the tortillas.
- Roll each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides to create sealed roll-ups.
- Melt 2 tbsp butter in a clean skillet over medium heat.
- Place roll-ups seam-side down in the skillet, cooking 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
- Transfer roll-ups to a cutting board, let rest 1-2 minutes, then slice diagonally.
- Serve roll-ups warm and enjoy your hearty breakfast.
Notes
- Drain sausage thoroughly to prevent soggy roll-ups and ensure a crisp exterior when cooking.
- Select flour tortillas that are fresh and flexible for easier rolling without cracking.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like pepper jack or sharp cheddar to customize flavor profiles.
- Prepare roll-ups ahead of time and wrap individually in foil for quick reheating during busy mornings, storing in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
