Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 4 large tortillas
- 4 beef breakfast sausage links
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon butter or oil, for cooking eggs
- 1 teaspoon butter or oil, for grilling
Instructions
- Cook the sausage: Pan-fry the beef breakfast sausage links in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Alternatively, bake them on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes. Drain on paper towels to remove excess grease.
- Scramble the eggs: While the sausage rests, whisk the 4 large eggs with salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and add butter or oil. Pour in the eggs and gently push and fold them until they are just set and slightly moist to maintain a soft texture.
- Warm the tortillas: Heat each large tortilla one at a time in a dry skillet over medium heat for 20-30 seconds per side until pliable, or microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for 30-60 seconds to make them easier to roll.
- Assemble the roll-ups: Spread about a quarter of the scrambled eggs evenly onto each warmed tortilla, leaving a small border. Place one cooked beef sausage link horizontally across the bottom third of the eggs, then sprinkle about a quarter cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs and sausage.
- Roll tightly: Tuck the sides in first, then roll the tortillas upwards tightly to enclose the filling. The melted cheese will help seal the seams as you cook them.
- Grill the roll-ups: Heat a clean non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add about a teaspoon of butter or oil. Grill the rolled tortillas for 3-4 minutes per side until they are golden brown, crispy, and the cheese inside is melted and gooey.
Notes
- You can substitute beef sausage with turkey or chicken sausage for a lighter option.
- For extra flavor, add chopped herbs like parsley or chives to the scrambled eggs.
- Use whole wheat or low-carb tortillas to make it healthier.
- Make the roll-ups ahead of time and reheat them in a skillet or panini press for a quick breakfast.
- Adjust seasoning according to taste, especially with salt and pepper.
