Egg Cheese Sausage Rolls

When mornings deserve a little upgrade, try these sausage egg and cheese roll-ups. They pack juicy sausage, soft eggs, and gooey sharp cheese into golden tortillas. My crew grabs them right from the pan, and I'm glad how they make even wild mornings feel fun.

Honestly, I whipped these up during a run of way-too-early sports drop-offs. Now, my family begs for 'em at dinner, too.

Tasty Ingredients

• Large flour tortillas: Pick sturdy tortillas so you can roll them up snug without them breaking. They keep everything inside.
• Black pepper: You just need a sprinkle for that classic breakfast taste. If you've got fresh ground, all the better.
• Shredded cheddar cheese: This gets ooey-gooey in the middle. Sharp cheddar gives flavor, but any kind melts fine here.
• Butter or oil: Butter is my favorite for extra flavor and that golden outside, but oil works great too.
• Large eggs: Go with the freshest eggs you can find for the best creamy texture. Cage-free always seem richer and brighter.
• Breakfast sausage: Pick a sausage that tastes good to you—mild or spicy. Try to avoid ones with a bunch of fillers.
• Milk: A splash goes in with the eggs to make 'em nice and tender. Whole milk or 2%—they both work.
• Salt: A little goes a long way for waking up all the other flavors, especially the cheese.

Simple Instructions

Serve:

Scoop the hot roll-ups right off the skillet onto a plate. Want bite-sized pieces? Chop them up. Eat them as soon as they're melty and warm—try dunking them in salsa or hot sauce if you're feeling spicy.

Cook the Roll-Ups:

Drop just a dab of butter or swirl of oil in your pan. Place roll-ups seam side down. Give them a couple minutes to toast up golden then use tongs to turn so all sides get crispy and cheese gets perfectly melty.

Roll the Tortillas:

Start at one end and roll each tortilla up nice and tight, tucking the outsides in as you go so nothing falls out.

Assemble the Roll-Ups:

Lay all your tortillas out on the counter. Divide the eggs and sausage between them. Sprinkle a solid handful of cheddar over the top last so it gets extra melted.

Cook the Eggs:

Add a little butter or oil to your sausage pan. Pour the egg mix in. Use a spatula to gently move the eggs around on medium-low heat. Stop cooking when they're still a little soft and creamy—don't let 'em dry out.

Prepare the Egg Mixture:

Pop all your eggs into a bowl. Add in milk, a shake of salt, and pepper. Whisk like crazy until everything's a single color and you see some bubbles for extra fluffiness.

Cook the Sausage:

Brown your sausage in a large frying pan over medium. Break it up as it cooks so you get tasty crumbles with every bite. Cook until there's zero pink left.

Save

Pulling these apart when the cheddar has melted through the eggs and sausage is just the best. My kiddo called them 'breakfast burrito magic' once—and honestly, that name just stuck with us.

Leftover Storage

Got extras? Wrap each one up in foil or put them in a tight-sealing container. They'll chill in the fridge for about three days. For longer, freeze them one by one and quickly reheat in a skillet or zap in the microwave. If you want them crispy, the stove is your buddy.

Swap Ideas

Want something lighter? Use turkey sausage or crumbled tofu. Try different cheese like mozzarella or pepper jack for fun. Add things like spinach or diced peppers to the eggs—just blot them dry so your tortillas don't go soggy.

Ways to Enjoy

Start your day with these and a side of fruit, a spoonful of yogurt, or some crispy hash browns. They're even better with salsa, guac, or a dollop of sour cream. If you're having friends over for brunch, make a toppings bar so everyone can pile on what they like.

Background & Inspiration

These roll-ups started as my fix on crazy mornings, but the idea comes from classic breakfast burritos found in diners or school lunchrooms across the country. Now, they're just part of our routine and always a crowd favorite at our place.
