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
- 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).
- Remove the sausage from the skillet and drain any excess grease. Set aside.
2. Scramble the Eggs
- In the same skillet (wipe it clean if needed), melt the butter or heat the oil over medium-low heat.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and whisk until smooth.
- 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
- Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface.
- Divide the scrambled eggs evenly among the tortillas, spreading them out in a thin layer.
- Sprinkle the cooked sausage and shredded cheese over the eggs.
- Optional: Add toppings like sliced avocado, salsa, or chopped green onions at this stage.
4. Roll and Serve (or Store)
- Tightly roll up each tortilla burrito-style, folding in the sides as you go to prevent fillings from spilling out.
- If serving immediately, wrap the roll-ups in parchment paper or foil for easy handling and enjoy warm.
- If preparing ahead, wrap each roll-up individually in plastic wrap or foil and store in the refrigerator or freezer.
