Scale
Main Protein Ingredients:
- 4 sausage links
- 4 large eggs
- ½ pound ground breakfast sausage
Dairy and Cheese:
- ½ cup (60 g) shredded cheese
- ¼ cup (60 ml) milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
Wrap and Extras:
- 4 large flour tortillas (8–10 inches)
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Optional Add-Ins:
- ¼ cup diced bell peppers
- ¼ cup diced onions
- ¼ cup chopped spinach

Instructions
- Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat and prepare cooked sausage by browning links or crumbling ground meat until completely done, ensuring no pink remains.
- Remove sausage from skillet and drain excess grease on paper towel-lined plate, allowing meat to rest and cool slightly.
- Whisk eggs thoroughly in a separate bowl, seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper for enhanced flavor.
- Reduce skillet heat to low-medium and pour whisked eggs into the same pan used for sausage, creating soft scrambled eggs by gently stirring and folding until just set but still creamy.
- Warm tortillas briefly in microwave or skillet to increase pliability and prevent cracking during rolling.
- Layer each tortilla with a portion of cooked scrambled eggs, positioning them slightly off-center for easier rolling.
- Distribute sausage pieces evenly over eggs, ensuring balanced flavor in each roll-up.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over sausage and eggs if desired, allowing residual heat to slightly melt cheese.
- Carefully roll tortillas from bottom edge upward, tucking sides inward to create a compact bundle.
- Slice roll-ups diagonally for attractive presentation and easier handling, serving immediately while ingredients remain warm and fresh.
Notes
- Choose high-quality breakfast sausage for maximum flavor, considering lean or spicy varieties to add excitement to the roll-ups.
- Drain excess grease thoroughly on paper towels to prevent soggy tortillas and ensure a crisp, enjoyable texture.
- Experiment with different tortilla types like whole wheat or spinach wraps to boost nutritional value and create interesting color variations.
- Prepare sausage ahead of time and store in the refrigerator for quick morning assembly, making breakfast preparation faster and more convenient.
