Ingredients:

• 8 large eggs
• 1/4 cup whole milk
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 8 breakfast sausage links (turkey, or plant-based)
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 8 small flour tortillas

Preparation

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.

Step 2: Whisk the Eggs
In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the whole milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Whisk until well combined and slightly frothy—this will make the eggs fluffy when cooked.

Step 3: Cook the Sausage
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage links for about 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and fully cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Step 4: Scramble the Eggs
Using the same skillet, reduce the heat slightly and pour in the egg mixture. Cook the eggs slowly, stirring frequently, until softly scrambled and fully cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5: Assemble the Roll-Ups
Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Distribute the scrambled eggs evenly across the center of each tortilla. Place one sausage link on top of the eggs, then sprinkle each with a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 6: Roll and Bake
Roll up each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you go to prevent the filling from spilling out. Place each roll-up seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the tortillas are slightly crispy and the cheese is melted.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. These roll-ups are best enjoyed warm, but they’re also great for reheating later!

Variations

• Spicy Version: Add hot sauce or diced jalapeños to the eggs for a kick.
• Veggie Style: Add sautéed mushrooms, spinach, bell peppers, or tomatoes to the scrambled eggs.
• Southwest Flair: Use pepper jack cheese, salsa, and avocado slices for a Tex-Mex twist.
• Low-Carb Option: Swap tortillas with low-carb wraps or lettuce leaves for a lighter version.
• Double the Protein: Use two sausage links or add crumbled bacon with the sausage.

Cooking Note

Be careful not to overcook the scrambled eggs—they should be soft and moist so they don’t dry out during the baking process. If you plan to freeze or refrigerate these for later, undercook the eggs slightly so they stay fluffy when reheated. When baking, placing the roll-ups seam-side down keeps them from unrolling in the oven.

Serving Suggestions

• Dip It: Serve with salsa, guacamole, or hot sauce on the side.
• Make It a Meal: Pair with fruit salad, roasted potatoes, or a smoothie for a complete breakfast.
• Pack It: Wrap in foil and take it to go—it’s the perfect handheld breakfast.
• Freeze for Later: These are fantastic for freezing and reheating during the week.

Tips

• Use whole milk or cream for extra creamy eggs.
• Warm the tortillas slightly in the microwave before rolling to prevent cracking.
• Make it ahead: Assemble the roll-ups and refrigerate or freeze them for future breakfasts.
• Reheat in oven or air fryer for best texture, though microwaving works in a pinch.
• Use quality cheese: Sharp cheddar gives a bold, rich flavor that balances the egg and sausage.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! These roll-ups are great for meal prep. Store them in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze them for up to 2 months.

How do I reheat breakfast roll-ups?
Reheat in the microwave (about 1–2 minutes) or for a crispier texture, bake in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes or air fry at 375°F for 5–7 minutes.

Can I use scrambled sausage instead of links?
Absolutely. Cook and crumble bulk breakfast sausage instead of using links—it works just as well.

Can I substitute the cheese?
Yes! Try mozzarella, Monterey Jack, Swiss, or a cheese blend depending on your flavor preference.

What tortillas work best?
Use soft 8-inch flour tortillas for easy rolling. Low-carb or gluten-free alternatives also work well.
