Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Roll-Ups That Will Start Your Morning Right

Learn how to make delicious SausageEgg and Cheese Breakfast Roll-Ups. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled (use turkey sausage for a leaner option)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite melting cheese)
  • 4 large flour tortillas (8-inch size works best)
  • 2 tablespoons milk or cream (optional, for fluffier eggs)
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil for cooking
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional add-ins: diced bell peppers, chopped spinach, or a dash of hot sauce

If you’re looking to make these gluten-free, swap the flour tortillas for corn tortillas or gluten-free wraps. And if cheese isn’t your thing, feel free to experiment with dairy-free alternatives or leave it out altogether. The beauty of this recipe is in its flexibility—just like my mom’s magic with a can of tomatoes and a handful of spices, you can tweak it to fit your family’s tastes and pantry.

Instructions

  1. Start by heating a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter or oil.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (if using), salt, and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Pour the eggs into the skillet and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until they’re softly scrambled but still moist. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to overcook; you want them fluffy and tender.
  4. Warm the tortillas in a separate dry skillet or microwave for about 15 seconds to make them pliable.
  5. Lay each tortilla flat and divide the scrambled eggs evenly among them.
  6. Sprinkle the cooked sausage and shredded cheese over the eggs. If you’re adding any veggies or hot sauce, now’s the time to layer those in.
  7. Carefully roll up each tortilla, folding in the sides as you go to keep the filling secure.
  8. Optional: Place the roll-ups seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until the tortillas are golden and the cheese is melted.
  9. Serve warm and enjoy immediately—though I’ll admit, I’ve wrapped one up for the car ride and it still tasted great an hour later.

One trick I learned from my early days balancing cooking and parenting is to keep the eggs slightly undercooked before rolling. The residual heat inside the wrap finishes them off perfectly, preventing dryness. It’s those little kitchen hacks that make all the difference when time is tight.
