Instructions
Follow these steps to create a hearty, portable breakfast that’s sure to start your day right.
Step 1: Cook the Sausage
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook 1 lb breakfast sausage, breaking it up with a spatula or wooden spoon. Cook for 6-8 minutes until browned and fully cooked (no pink remaining). Drain excess fat and transfer the sausage to a plate. Set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Scrambled Eggs
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, ¼ cup milk, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper until fully combined.
- In the same skillet (wiped clean if needed), add a small pat of butter or a drizzle of oil over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, for 3-5 minutes until soft and scrambled. Remove from heat.
Step 3: Assemble the Roll-Ups
- Lay out 4 large flour tortillas on a clean surface. Divide the cooked sausage evenly among the tortillas, placing it in a line down the center of each.
- Spoon the scrambled eggs over the sausage, then sprinkle ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs. Add optional ingredients like diced bell peppers, onions, or avocado slices if desired.
- Fold the bottom of each tortilla over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly to form a burrito-style roll-up.
Step 4: Toast (Optional) and Serve
- For a crispy exterior, heat the skillet over medium heat and place the roll-ups seam-side down. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and slightly crisp.
- Transfer to a serving platter or plates. Serve warm with salsa, hot sauce, ketchup, sour cream, or Greek yogurt on the side. Garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro for a fresh touch.
Serving Suggestions
- On-the-Go Breakfast: Wrap in foil for a portable meal on busy mornings.
- Brunch Spread: Pair with fresh fruit, hash browns, or a smoothie for a complete meal.
- Kid-Friendly: Serve with ketchup or a mild salsa for picky eaters.
- Game Day Snack: Cut into smaller pieces and serve with dipping sauces for a crowd.
