Ingredients You’ll Need
Gather these simple ingredients, and you’re well on your way:
- 1 pound of breakfast sausage
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar works wonders!)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: diced green onions or bell peppers for a little flair
How to Whip Up Your Roll-Ups
Steps to Make Breakfast Roll-Ups
- Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the sausage until brown and cooked through. Drain off any excess fat and set aside.
- Scramble the Eggs: In the same skillet, whisk the eggs together with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until fluffy, stirring occasionally. (Just think of it as a gentle egg-taming session!)
- Combine the Filling: Once the eggs are cooked to perfection, mix them with the cooked sausage and shredded cheese in the pan. Stir until the cheese is gooey and melted.
- Wrap it Up: On each tortilla, spoon a generous amount of the sausage-egg-cheese mixture onto the center. Roll them up tightly like a burrito, ensuring no filling escapes.
- Cook the Roll-Ups: Place each roll-up seam-side down in the same skillet over medium heat. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden and crispy. You’re looking for that perfect crunch to complement the creamy interior!
- Serve and Enjoy: Cut them in half (if you’re feeling generous) and serve warm. They’re perfect on their own or accompanied by your favorite salsa or hot sauce for a little kick.
Cooking Tips for the Perfect Breakfast Roll-Ups
- Meal Prep Magic: Make a batch over the weekend and store them in the fridge. Pop them in the microwave for a quick breakfast during the week. It’s like leftover bliss, but for breakfast!
- Feel Free to Customize: Don’t have sausage on hand? Try bacon, ham, or even sautéed veggies for a vegetarian twist! Just make sure you’ve got all those comforting flavors cozying up together.
- Little Helpers: If your kids want to join in, let them sprinkle the cheese or help roll. Cooking can turn into a family bonding moment! Just watch out for flying flour tortillas… they might be more fun than food!
