Need a fast, grab-and-go breakfast with tons of taste? These Sausage, Egg Breakfast Roll-Ups are just what you need. They wrap hearty sausage, soft scrambled eggs, and gooey cheese inside a warm tortilla. They're great for those crazy mornings or when you're planning meals ahead. Whether you're rushing out or taking your time eating, these tasty bundles will hit the spot.

I've whipped these roll-ups up so many times and nobody ever gets tired of them. There's something magical about the mix of juicy sausage, soft eggs, and melted cheese that keeps everyone coming back for more.

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.

I can't help adding a spoonful of salsa or some avocado slices to my roll-ups for extra punch. My family just can't get enough of these—they're always hoping I'll make another batch!

Ways to Serve These Roll-Ups

With Fresh Sides:
Try them with some fruit, a small salad, or crispy potatoes to make a full meal.
For Meal Prep:
Wrap each one in foil or plastic and keep them in the fridge or freezer so you can grab breakfast fast.
At Brunch:
Add these roll-ups to your spread of pancakes, waffles, or pastries when hosting friends.
For Kids:
Leave out any spicy stuff and serve with ketchup or fruit on the side for a kid-friendly option.

Tasty Twists to Try

Vegetarian Option:
Skip the sausage and use cooked veggies like peppers, mushrooms, or spinach instead.
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.
Cheesy Upgrade:
Use several kinds of cheese or add cream cheese for a richer taste.
Low-Carb Option:
Use low-carb wraps or even lettuce leaves instead of tortillas for a lighter choice.

Keeping Leftovers Fresh

Storing Leftovers:
Wrap your roll-ups snugly in foil or plastic and keep them in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freezing:
Wrap each roll-up in plastic first, then foil. They'll stay good in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Reheating:
Warm them up in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or in a pan over medium heat until they're hot through.

Common Questions

Can I use different meat?
Sure thing! Bacon, ham, or turkey sausage all work great and give different flavors.

Will egg whites work instead of whole eggs?
They sure will. Just watch your cooking time since they might cook faster.
How do I stop my tortillas from breaking?
Make sure to warm them up first so they're soft and flexible before you start rolling.

Ingredients

→ Main Ingredients

01 4 large eggs
02 4 big tortillas, 8 to 10 inches wide
03 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk
04 Salt and pepper, as much as you like
05 1/2 cup (60 g) shredded cheese, like cheddar or Monterey Jack
06 1 tbsp of butter or oil

→ Optional Add-ins

08 Salsa to dip or top with
09 1/4 cup spinach, chopped into small pieces
10 1/4 cup diced onions or colorful bell peppers

Instructions

Step 01

Warm up a skillet on medium. Brown the sausages for 8-10 minutes until cooked through, or crumble and cook ground sausage until no pink remains. Put it on paper towels to drain excess grease.

Step 02

Mix the eggs, milk, plus a pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl. Heat a skillet with butter or oil on medium-low. Add the egg mix and stir softly until fully cooked but still creamy. Turn off the heat.

Step 03

Spread a tortilla open and sprinkle cheese in the middle. Pile on eggs, sausage, and anything optional like spinach or onions. Roll it up tight while tucking the edges. Do the same for the others.

Step 04

To give them a nice crunch, place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in a skillet on medium. Toast them for about 1-2 minutes on each side.

Step 05

Serve the warm roll-ups with some salsa or any dipping sauce you like.

Notes

  1. You can prep ahead! Wrap them in foil or parchment and chill for up to 3 days.
  2. Freeze each roll individually for two months max. Defrost in the fridge or heat directly from frozen.
  3. Level up the flavor with things like avocado slices, bacon crumbles, or hot sauce.
