Cook the sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble the breakfast sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Once done, remove from the skillet and set aside.
-
Scramble the eggs: In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them together with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the skillet and scramble them until they’re cooked to your desired consistency, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
-
Assemble the roll-ups: Lay out your tortillas on a flat surface. Divide the cooked sausage evenly between the tortillas, then add an equal portion of scrambled eggs on top of the sausage. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the eggs, allowing it to melt from the heat of the eggs and sausage.
-
Roll them up: Carefully roll up each tortilla tightly, folding in the edges as you go to hold everything inside. Be sure to roll them snugly to keep the filling in place.
-
Optional: Toast the roll-ups (for extra crunch): If you prefer a little crunch, return the roll-ups to the skillet and cook over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side, just until golden brown and crispy.
-
Serve: Slice the roll-ups into halves or thirds, and serve immediately with your favorite condiments like hot sauce, salsa, or avocado.
Serving and Storage Tips:
- Serve fresh: These breakfast roll-ups are best served fresh, right after they’ve been made, for that warm, gooey cheese and fluffy eggs.
- Meal prep: These roll-ups can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For reheating, microwave them for 30-45 seconds or warm them in a skillet for a couple of minutes to get that crispy exterior.
- Freezing: You can also freeze the roll-ups for up to 2 months. Wrap each roll-up tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store them in a freezer-safe bag. To reheat, microwave them directly from the freezer or warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
Variants:
- Vegetarian Breakfast Roll-Ups: Replace the sausage with sautéed veggies like mushrooms, bell peppers, and onions for a vegetarian version.
- Spicy Breakfast Roll-Ups: Add a few slices of jalapeño or a drizzle of hot sauce to kick up the heat.
- Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Roll-Ups: Swap the sausage for crispy bacon for a classic bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast bite.
- Low-carb Version: Use low-carb tortillas or lettuce wraps instead of flour tortillas for a keto-friendly option.
