Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Roll-Ups:

  • 8 large eggs
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp butter or oil (for scrambling eggs)
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage (mild or spicy, depending on preference)
  • 8 small flour tortillas (or whole wheat for a healthier option)
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your favorite melting cheese)
  • Optional: Sliced avocado, salsa, hot sauce, or chopped green onions for serving

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cook the Sausage

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, until fully cooked and browned (about 6–8 minutes).
  2. Remove the sausage from the skillet and drain any excess grease. Set aside.

2. Scramble the Eggs

  1. In the same skillet (wipe it clean if needed), melt the butter or heat the oil over medium-low heat.
  2. Crack the eggs into a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and whisk until smooth.
  3. Pour the eggs into the skillet and cook, stirring gently, until soft and fluffy. Avoid overcooking—remove them from the heat while still slightly moist. Set aside.

3. Assemble the Roll-Ups

  1. Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface.
  2. Divide the scrambled eggs evenly among the tortillas, spreading them out in a thin layer.
  3. Sprinkle the cooked sausage and shredded cheese over the eggs.
  4. Optional: Add toppings like sliced avocado, salsa, or chopped green onions at this stage.

4. Roll and Serve (or Store)

  1. Tightly roll up each tortilla burrito-style, folding in the sides as you go to prevent fillings from spilling out.
  2. If serving immediately, wrap the roll-ups in parchment paper or foil for easy handling and enjoy warm.
  3. If preparing ahead, wrap each roll-up individually in plastic wrap or foil and store in the refrigerator or freezer.
