Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 8 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon milk (any type: dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Sausage and Wrap

  • 8 breakfast sausage links
  • 8 flour tortillas (8-inch size)
  • Cooking spray

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage links until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside to drain on paper towels.
  2. Prepare the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy. This mixture will ensure tender, fluffy scrambled eggs.
  3. Scramble the Eggs: Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook gently, stirring frequently but softly, until the eggs are just set but still moist, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Warm the Tortillas: Lightly spray a clean skillet with cooking spray and warm each flour tortilla for about 20-30 seconds per side until soft and pliable. This prevents cracking when rolling.
  5. Assemble the Roll-Ups: Lay each warmed tortilla flat. Place one cooked sausage link in the center of each tortilla. Top with a generous spoonful of scrambled eggs, then sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs.
  6. Roll and Heat: Carefully roll up each tortilla around the fillings, tucking in the sides as you go to create neat roll-ups. Optionally, place the roll-ups seam side down in the skillet over low heat for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese further and crisp the tortilla slightly.
  7. Serve: Slice in half if desired and serve warm, enjoying a quick, filling breakfast classic.

Notes

  • Use egg whites or an egg substitute for a lighter version of this dish.
  • Substitute milk with cream or half-and-half for richer eggs, or use water or broth for a fluffier texture.
  • Replace butter with olive oil or coconut oil to make the recipe dairy-free.
  • You can swap breakfast sausage links with ground sausage, turkey/chicken sausage, bacon, vegetarian sausage, or diced ham for variety.
  • Alternative wraps include whole wheat, corn, low-carb tortillas, or large lettuce leaves for a low-carb option.
  • Try different cheeses like Monterey Jack, pepper jack, Colby Jack, mozzarella, Swiss, feta, goat cheese, or dairy-free cheese to suit your taste preferences.
