Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Roll-Ups are a fantastic way to start your day with a delicious, portable breakfast. They’re easy to make and are the perfect balance of savory sausage, creamy eggs, and melty cheese, all wrapped up in a convenient, handheld bite. Here’s a simple recipe to try:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb breakfast sausage (either mild or spicy, depending on preference)
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for cooking eggs)
- 4 large flour tortillas (soft taco-sized)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: hot sauce, salsa, or ketchup for dipping
Instructions:
-
Cook the Sausage:
- In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat. Break it up into small pieces as it cooks.
- Cook until the sausage is browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Once done, drain any excess fat and set the sausage aside.
-
Scramble the Eggs:
- In a bowl, crack the eggs and beat them with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- In the same skillet (wipe it clean first if necessary), melt 1 tablespoon of butter or heat a little oil over medium-low heat.
- Pour in the beaten eggs and gently stir until they’re scrambled and cooked to your desired consistency. Remove from heat.
-
Assemble the Roll-Ups:
- Lay out a flour tortilla on a flat surface.
- Place a few spoonfuls of cooked sausage in the center of the tortilla.
- Add a generous portion of scrambled eggs on top of the sausage.
- Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese (or any cheese you prefer).
-
Roll-Up:
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to secure all the ingredients inside.
-
Optional Toasting:
- For a crispy exterior, you can heat a little butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat and toast each breakfast roll-up for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
-
Serve:
- Slice the roll-ups in half if desired and serve with hot sauce, salsa, or ketchup on the side for dipping.
Tips:
- Make it ahead: You can prepare the sausage and eggs the night before and just assemble the roll-ups in the morning for a super quick breakfast.
- Add veggies: Feel free to add some sautéed onions, bell peppers, or spinach for extra flavor and nutrients.
- Freezer-friendly: If you want to make a batch for later, wrap the roll-ups in foil or plastic wrap and store them in the freezer. To reheat, microwave for about 1-2 minutes or bake in the oven.
These Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Roll-Ups will make your mornings delicious and easy! Perfect for on-the-go or a relaxed breakfast at home.
