Directions and Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage links until they are browned and fully cooked through. Once done, remove them from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, crack the eggs into the remaining drippings and scramble them well, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the eggs are fully set, fluffy, and inviting.
- Lay out the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface to prepare for filling.
- Evenly distribute the scrambled eggs onto each tortilla. Follow this with placing one sausage link on top of the eggs, and then sprinkle on a generous amount of shredded cheese.
- Roll each tortilla tightly, making sure to fold in the sides as you go to secure the filling within a beautiful wrap.
- Return the roll-ups to the skillet and cook over low heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese has melted into ooey-gooey goodness.
- Serve the roll-ups warm and invite everyone to enjoy with their choice of optional toppings such as fresh salsa, creamy avocado, or a dollop of sour cream.
Notes or Tips
Feel free to swap out the sausage for your favorite protein, like bacon or ham, or even a vegetarian alternative. You can also experiment with different cheese varieties such as pepper jack for a spicy kick or mozzarella for a milder flavor. Don’t hesitate to add veggies like spinach or bell peppers to the egg mixture for an extra burst of nutrition!
Cooking Techniques
For perfectly scrambled eggs, stir them gently and continuously while they cook to create a fluffy texture. Cooking the roll-ups on low heat after assembling helps ensure that the cheese melts evenly without burning the tortillas.
FAQ
Can these roll-ups be made ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the filling, roll them up, and store them in the fridge for a quick breakfast on busy mornings. Just reheat them in the skillet or microwave before serving.
Are they suitable for freezing?
Yes, these roll-ups freeze wonderfully. Simply wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap before placing them in a freezer bag. When you’re ready to eat, thaw them in the fridge overnight, then reheat as mentioned above.
