Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 4 breakfast sausage links
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Bread/Wrap:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Seasonings and Extras:
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat and cook sausage links for 8-10 minutes, rotating occasionally until thoroughly browned and internal temperature reaches 160°F.
- Remove sausages from skillet, slice into thin diagonal pieces, and set aside.
- Whisk eggs in a bowl with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Use the same skillet, add olive oil, and pour in whisked eggs. Gently scramble eggs over medium-low heat, creating soft, fluffy curds.
- When eggs are almost set but still slightly moist, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over them and fold gently to distribute.
- Warm tortillas in microwave for 15-20 seconds to increase flexibility.
- Place a tortilla on a flat surface and arrange sliced sausage pieces in a horizontal line across the center.
- Top sausage with cheesy scrambled eggs, ensuring even distribution.
- Carefully roll the tortilla from bottom to top, creating a tight cylindrical wrap.
- Optional: Garnish with chopped chives for added freshness and visual appeal.
- Slice rolls diagonally for easier handling and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Slice sausages at an angle for more visually appealing and easier-to-distribute pieces in the roll-up.
- Use room temperature tortillas to prevent cracking and ensure smooth rolling without breaking.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like pepper jack or Swiss for unique flavor profiles and added excitement.
- Prepare ingredients beforehand to streamline cooking process and reduce morning breakfast stress.
