Essential Ingredients and What They Do

• Breakfast Sausage: Gives that rich, meaty taste that makes these roll-ups special.
• Eggs: Create a soft, protein-rich foundation for your filling.
• Milk (optional): Helps make your scrambled eggs incredibly soft and airy.
• Shredded Cheese: Adds that wonderful melty, slightly sharp element.
• Tortillas: Work as the ideal wrapper for all your yummy fillings.
• Butter or Oil: Needed for cooking eggs and making tortillas pliable.
• Optional Toppings: Things like salsa, hot sauce, avocado, or spinach add extra zip and crunch.

Putting Together Your Morning Roll-Ups

Cook the Sausage:

Put a skillet on medium heat and cook sausage links until they're brown and done inside, around 8-10 minutes. For ground sausage, cook till it's brown and broken up. Take it out and set aside.

Scramble the Eggs:

Mix eggs and milk (if you want) in a bowl. Add some salt and pepper. Melt butter in the same pan over medium heat, then pour in the eggs. Stir them gently until soft and scrambled. Take off the heat.

Assemble the Roll-Ups:

Get your tortillas warm in a dry pan or microwave so they bend easily. Put a sausage link or spoonful of crumbled sausage on each one. Add some eggs and sprinkle cheese on top.

Roll and Wrap:

Roll your tortilla tightly around everything, tucking in the sides as you go. If you want them crispier, put them in a pan with the seam down for 1-2 minutes on each side.

Serve and Enjoy:

Eat them while they're warm with extras like salsa, hot sauce, or avocado if you want.

Spicy Twist:

Try hot sausage and throw in some jalapeños or hot sauce for extra kick.

Breakfast Burrito Style:

Add black beans, chopped tomatoes, or hash browns to make them more filling.
