Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein Ingredients:
- 4 breakfast sausage links
- 4 large eggs
- 2 slices cheddar cheese (50g)
Wrap and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Optional Garnish Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat a large skillet over medium heat, preparing the cooking surface for the breakfast sausage links.
- Cook sausage links for 8-10 minutes, rotating periodically to ensure even browning and complete cooking throughout.
- Remove sausages from skillet and set aside, then drain excess grease while keeping the pan slightly lubricated.
- Whisk eggs in a medium bowl, seasoning with salt and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Pour whisked eggs into the same skillet, gently scrambling over medium-low heat until soft and just set, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Warm tortillas briefly in the microwave or skillet to increase flexibility and prevent cracking during rolling.
- Place a slice of cheddar cheese in the center of each tortilla, creating a base layer for the filling.
- Position one cooked sausage link and a portion of scrambled eggs on top of the cheese.
- Carefully roll each tortilla into a compact cylinder, ensuring ingredients are securely enclosed.
- Brush the exterior of each roll-up with olive oil to promote golden, crispy texture.
- Return rolls to the skillet, cooking for 1-2 minutes on each side until exterior turns golden brown and crisp.
- Transfer roll-ups to a serving plate, garnish with chopped chives and parsley for added freshness and visual appeal.
- Slice diagonally and serve immediately while warm and cheese remains melted.
Notes
- Choose fully cooked sausage links to reduce cooking time and ensure food safety.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like pepper jack or Swiss for unique flavor profiles.
- Use whole wheat or low-carb tortillas to accommodate gluten-free or keto dietary needs.
- Allow scrambled eggs to remain slightly runny for a creamier texture inside the roll-ups.
