What You Need for Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Roll-Ups

Here’s everything you’ll need to whip these babies up. Most of it, you probably already have on hand:

1 package breakfast sausage (pork or turkey works great)
6 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 large flour tortillas

Quick tip: If your family likes spice, try a pepper jack or chipotle cheddar cheese for a smoky kick.

Step-by-Step: How to Make These Roll-Ups

Step 1: Cook the Sausage

Heat a large skillet over medium. Crumble in the sausage and cook until browned and no longer pink—about 5–7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Step 2: Whisk the Eggs

Crack eggs into a bowl. Add milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and slightly frothy.

Step 3: Cook the Eggs

Melt butter in the same skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in your egg mixture. Let sit a few seconds until it begins to set. Stir gently from the edges to the center until the eggs are soft, fluffy, and fully cooked.

Step 4: Combine Filling

Turn off the heat. Add the sausage back in and sprinkle in that glorious cheddar cheese. Stir everything together so it’s gooey and delicious.

Step 5: Fill and Roll

Hands assembling a sausage egg and cheese breakfast roll-up by filling a flour tortilla.

Lay tortillas flat. Scoop the egg mixture into the center of each one. Fold in the sides, then roll up tightly from the bottom.

Step 6 (Optional): Toast to Finish

Place seam-side down in a clean skillet. Toast for a minute or two on each side until golden and crispy. This part? Totally worth it.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Serve warm with salsa, hot sauce, or just as is. They’re that good.

Honestly, I keep coming back to this recipe because:

They freeze like a dream.
They reheat perfectly in a toaster oven or skillet.
They’re protein-packed and super satisfying.

Easy Variations for Picky Eaters or Dietary Swaps

No two mornings are the same, right? So here are a few ways I like to switch things up:

Go veggie: Add sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
Make it low-carb: Use low-carb tortillas or egg wraps.
Switch the meat: Try crumbled bacon or chopped ham.
Add a sauce: A drizzle of chipotle mayo or avocado crema is dreamy.

Storage and Meal Prep Tips

Fridge: Wrap extras in foil or store in airtight containers. Keeps for up to 4 days.

Freezer: Let cool, wrap tightly in foil or plastic, and freeze. Just reheat in a toaster oven or microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel.

Make-Ahead: You can fully assemble and refrigerate overnight. Just toast in the morning and go.
