Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Sausage and Cheese
- 6 breakfast sausage links or patties, cooked and chopped
- 6 slices cheddar cheese
Wrap and Cooking
- 6 large flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons butter for cooking
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives or parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder if using, until fully combined and smooth.
- Cook the scrambled eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook gently, stirring occasionally until the eggs are softly scrambled and just set but still moist. Remove the eggs from the skillet and set aside.
- Warm the tortillas: In the same skillet, warm each tortilla for about 30 seconds per side until soft and pliable, making them easier to roll without tearing.
- Assemble the roll-ups: Lay a slice of cheddar cheese on each warmed tortilla. Spoon the scrambled eggs evenly over the cheese, then top with the chopped cooked sausage.
- Roll the tortillas tightly: Fold in the sides and roll the tortillas burrito-style, securing the filling inside to create neat roll-ups.
- Cook the roll-ups: Return the roll-ups seam-side down to the skillet, add the remaining butter if needed, and cook over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until the tortillas are lightly golden and crisp and the cheese has melted inside.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped fresh chives or parsley if desired, and serve warm for a hearty and flavorful breakfast.
Notes
- These breakfast roll-ups can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.
- You can swap cheddar cheese for any cheese of your choice, such as mozzarella or pepper jack.
- Use turkey sausage or a vegetarian sausage alternative for a lighter or meatless version.
- To make a meal-prep version that keeps fresh longer, wrap individually and freeze; reheat gently to maintain flavor and texture.
