Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 4 breakfast sausage links
- 4 eggs, scrambled
Bread/Wrap:
- 4 large tortillas
Cheese:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or favorite cheese variety)
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium-high temperature and cook sausage links until they are evenly browned and completely cooked through, approximately 6-8 minutes.
- Remove sausage from skillet and set aside, then crack eggs directly into the same pan, gently scrambling them until they reach a soft, creamy texture without overcooking.
- Lay out tortillas on a clean surface and position a cooked sausage link near the bottom edge of each tortilla.
- Distribute the freshly scrambled eggs evenly over the sausage, ensuring consistent coverage across the tortilla.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the eggs, allowing it to slightly melt from the residual heat.
- Carefully fold the bottom edge of the tortilla over the filling, then tightly roll the tortilla, tucking in the sides to create a secure wrap.
- Return the rolled tortillas to the skillet, placing them seam-side down to create a golden, crispy exterior.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the tortilla turns a light golden brown and the cheese melts completely.
- Transfer to a serving plate, slice diagonally if desired, and serve immediately while warm and crisp.
Notes
- Meat Alternatives: Swap sausage with turkey, chicken, or plant-based sausage for a lighter protein option.
- Cheese Flexibility: Use different cheese varieties like cheddar, pepper jack, or dairy-free alternatives to customize flavor profiles.
- Quick Meal Prep: Prepare multiple roll-ups in advance and store in refrigerator for convenient grab-and-go breakfasts during busy mornings.
- Gluten-Free Adaptation: Replace traditional tortillas with low-carb wraps or lettuce leaves for a gluten-free version that maintains the delicious roll-up concept.
