Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 4 sausage links (or ½ pound ground breakfast sausage)
- 4 large eggs
Dairy and Cheese:
- ½ cup (60 g / 2.1 ounces) shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your choice)
- ¼ cup (60 ml / 2 fluid ounces) milk
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil
Wrapping and Additional Ingredients:
- 4 large flour tortillas (8–10 inches)
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Optional Add-ins:
- ¼ cup diced bell peppers or onions
- ¼ cup chopped spinach
- Salsa, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, preparing the cooking surface for the sausage.
- If using sausage links, carefully place them in the skillet, rotating periodically to ensure uniform browning and thorough cooking until they develop a rich, golden exterior and reach complete doneness.
- For ground sausage, crumble the meat into the hot skillet, continuously breaking it into small, even pieces while stirring to promote even cooking and prevent clumping.
- Cook the ground sausage until it loses its pink color and transforms into a rich, uniform brown, indicating it is fully cooked and safe to consume.
- Using a slotted spoon or spatula, transfer the cooked sausage to a paper towel-lined plate, allowing excess grease to drain and helping maintain the meat’s crisp texture.
- Let the sausage rest momentarily while preparing the remaining components of the breakfast roll-ups, ensuring the meat remains warm and ready for assembly.
Notes
- Opt for lean sausage varieties to reduce overall fat content and create a healthier breakfast option.
- Experiment with different protein alternatives like turkey sausage or plant-based sausage crumbles for dietary variety and flexibility.
- Pat sausage dry with paper towels to minimize excess grease and ensure a crisp, clean texture in the roll-ups.
- Consider prepping sausage ahead of time and storing in portioned containers for quick morning assembly, saving valuable breakfast preparation time.
