Let’s face it: breakfast can sometimes feel like the forgotten meal of the day. You’re busy juggling your morning routine—getting the kids ready, making sure you’re not still in your pajamas at noon, and somehow finding time to make yourself a decent meal. That’s where my Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Roll-Ups come into play—an easy, delicious way to jumpstart your day. It’s essentially everything you love about breakfast, wrapped into a simple, portable delight.
Ingredients
Scale
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
Instructions
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.
Notes
- 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!
