What you’ll need
To create these mouthwatering roll-ups, gather the following ingredients:
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- 8 pre-cooked breakfast sausage links
- 8 (8-inch) flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp butter
- Non-stick cooking spray
If you’re looking for alternatives, consider using whole grain tortillas or even low-carb wraps to cater to different dietary needs.
Step-by-step instructions
- Crack the eggs into a large bowl, then add milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk until the mixture is well-blended and frothy.
- In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, gently stirring until the eggs are soft and fluffy, which should take about 5-7 minutes. Once ready, remove from heat.
- Lightly toast the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them more pliable.
- On a flat surface, lay a warm tortilla. Place a sausage link at the edge, add about a tablespoon of scrambled eggs, and sprinkle shredded cheese generously on top.
- Tightly roll the tortilla, folding in the ends to seal the filling.
- Clean the skillet, then spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray or add extra butter. Heat over medium heat. Place the roll-ups seam side down and cook until golden brown, around 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve warm, and enjoy your roll-ups paired with salsa or hot sauce if desired.
Best ways to enjoy it
These roll-ups are not only delicious on their own, but you can elevate your meal with thoughtful pairings. Serve them with fresh fruit or a side salad for a balanced breakfast. For added flair, consider a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce to kick up the flavor.
Storage and reheating tips
If you have leftovers, storing them is simple. Place the roll-ups in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to three days. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, simply reheat in the microwave for about 30 seconds or warm them in a skillet to restore that delightful crispiness.
