Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Roll-Ups

Here’s a complete breakdown of Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Roll-Ups with variations and tips to make them even better:


Construction:

  1. Cook the Sausage:
    • Use ground breakfast sausage and brown it in a skillet over medium heat. Break it into small crumbles as it cooks.
    • Drain grease to avoid soggy roll-ups.
  2. Scramble the Eggs:
    • Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper for creamy scrambled eggs.
    • Cook them in a greased skillet, stirring until set.
  3. Assemble the Roll-Ups:
    • Layer cheese, sausage, and scrambled eggs in the center of each tortilla.
    • Roll tightly, tucking in the edges to secure the filling.
  4. Crisp the Roll-Ups:
    • Pan-fry the rolled tortillas in a greased skillet, seam-side down first, for a golden, crispy exterior.

Variations:

  • Protein Swaps:
    • Use bacon, ham, or turkey sausage instead of breakfast sausage.
    • For a vegetarian option, try sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or black beans.
  • Cheese Options:
    • Swap cheddar for mozzarella, pepper jack, or feta.
  • Tortilla Choices:
    • Use whole wheat, low-carb, or gluten-free tortillas.
    • Try flavored tortillas like spinach or tomato for extra color and taste.
  • Add Veggies:
    • Add diced bell peppers, onions, or tomatoes to the scrambled eggs.
    • Toss in a handful of baby spinach for added greens.
  • Sauce Ideas:
    • Spread salsa, hot sauce, or cream cheese on the tortilla before adding the filling.

Tips:

  1. Make-Ahead:
    • Prepare and assemble the roll-ups the night before. Refrigerate, then crisp them in the morning.
  2. Freezer-Friendly:
    • Wrap uncooked roll-ups tightly in foil or plastic wrap. Freeze, then cook from frozen for a quick meal.
  3. Customizable Portions:
    • Scale up the recipe to feed a crowd or make smaller roll-ups with mini tortillas for snacks.
  4. For a Crowd:
    • Place assembled roll-ups on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes instead of pan-frying.
  5. Keep Warm:
    • If serving to guests, place the cooked roll-ups in a warm oven (around 200°F/90°C) until ready to eat.

Enjoy these portable and satisfying breakfast roll-ups any way you like!
