Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Roll-Ups are a great grab-and-go breakfast option, packed with protein and flavor. Here’s how you can make them:
Ingredients:
- For the Roll-Ups:
- 4 large flour tortillas (or 6-inch tortillas)
- 1 lb breakfast sausage (pork, turkey, or your choice)
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese)
- 1/4 cup milk (optional, for fluffier eggs)
- 2 tablespoons butter (or oil, for cooking)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
- Optional toppings and add-ins:
- Salsa
- Sour cream
- Avocado slices
- Hot sauce
- Fresh herbs (like cilantro or chives)
Instructions:
- Cook the sausage:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Remove the sausage from its casing (if needed) and crumble it into the pan.
- Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into smaller pieces as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary, and season with a pinch of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Once cooked, remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Scramble the eggs:
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (if using), salt, and pepper until fully combined.
- In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
- Pour in the eggs and scramble them, stirring occasionally, until they’re cooked through but still soft and creamy. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Assemble the roll-ups:
- Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface.
- Evenly distribute the cooked sausage onto the center of each tortilla.
- Add a portion of the scrambled eggs on top of the sausage.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs. You can also add any extra ingredients you like, such as salsa or avocado.
- Roll them up:
- Carefully roll each tortilla up tightly, folding in the sides as you go to create a neat roll. You can use toothpicks to secure them if necessary.
- Optional: Toast the roll-ups:
- Heat a little butter or oil in the skillet over medium heat.
- Place the roll-ups seam side down and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve:
- Once toasted (if you chose to do so), slice each roll-up into 2-3 pieces for easy serving.
- Serve immediately with salsa, sour cream, or your favorite toppings.
Tips:
- Meal Prep: These breakfast roll-ups are great for meal prepping! You can store them in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to a month. Just reheat in the microwave or oven when ready to eat.
- Add veggies: If you’d like to sneak in some veggies, sauté some spinach, bell peppers, or onions with the sausage or eggs.
These roll-ups are a quick, delicious, and customizable breakfast option to start your day right! Enjoy.
