Some days call for a breakfast that's a notch above the usual These sausage egg and cheese roll-ups totally do the trick Each bite bursts with juicy sausage creamy scrambled eggs and gooey cheddar cheese all snuggled up inside a warm crisp tortilla We can't stop grabbing these right out of the pan and I'm all for how breakfast feels fun even if mornings are wild
I whipped these up on a whim after a week of sprinting to super early soccer sessions Now the crew asks for them even when we're having late night dinners
Irresistible Ingredients
- Large flour tortillas: These keep all your fillings inside without ripping Big sturdy tortillas are easier to fold up
- Black pepper: Puts a little zing in every bite Fresh cracked gives the best flavor
- Milk: Just a splash makes eggs taste creamy and fluffy Two percent or whole milk are both good calls
- Breakfast sausage: Pick a style that you can't get enough of Go for brands with fewer additives so it tastes like real deal sausage
- Butter or oil: This helps toast the roll-ups and stops food from sticking I love grabbing real butter for extra flavor
- Salt: Brings out the best in all the flavors and balances things
- Shredded cheddar cheese: Melts for that stretchy cheesy bite Sharp cheddar packs more punch but any kind will work
- Large eggs: The base of that fluffy filling Try to use fresher eggs if you can—cage free ones taste amazing
Simple Steps to Follow
- Serve:
- Slide those warm roll-ups onto a plate You can chop them up if you'd rather bite-sized Treat them right away while they're gooey inside They're awesome with some hot sauce or a dip of salsa
- Cook the Roll-Ups:
- Turn the skillet to medium and melt a smidge of butter or a quick pour of oil Lay roll-ups seam-down first Sear each side until they're golden and cheese melts Flip to toast every edge just right
- Roll the Tortillas:
- Starting from one end roll up the tortillas snugly Tuck the sides in as you move so everything stays put and you won't lose toppings
- Assemble the Roll-Ups:
- Put the tortillas down flat Share sausage and scrambled eggs between them Sprinkle a heap of cheddar on each so it melts right into the middle Cheesy last makes everything gooier
- Cook the Eggs:
- Keep that skillet handy Add oil or butter Pour in the egg mix Let them cook low and slow Stir with your spatula until just set Pull off the heat when they're soft but not dry
- Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- Crack eggs in a bowl Toss in salt pepper and milk Whisk it up until light and bubbly That makes the eggs turn out super puffy and smooth
- Cook the Sausage:
- Break sausage up in a big skillet on medium Smash it into crumbles as it cooks Keep going till it loses all the pink and turns brown This gives you loads of flavor in every bite

Honestly the melty cheese fusing with eggs and sausage is my favorite part My kiddo nicknamed them breakfast burrito magic so now that's what we call them at home

Swap-Out Suggestions
