Scale
Protein:
- 4 sausage links
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Wrap and Binding:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 tbsp milk (30 ml)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
Optional Garnish:
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives
- 1 tbsp butter (14 g)
- 1 tsp hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Warm a skillet over medium heat and cook sausage links until golden brown and thoroughly heated, approximately 8-10 minutes, ensuring even browning on all sides.
- Remove sausages from skillet and set aside; drain excess grease if needed.
- Whisk eggs in a bowl with milk, salt, and black pepper until smoothly blended and slightly frothy.
- Pour egg mixture into the same skillet, gently stirring and scrambling until soft curds form and eggs are just set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Lightly toast flour tortillas in a separate dry pan for 30 seconds on each side to enhance flexibility.
- Place a cooked sausage link in the center of each tortilla, then top with scrambled eggs and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese.
- Carefully roll each tortilla into a compact cylinder, tucking in sides to secure filling.
- Melt butter in the skillet and place roll-ups seam-side down, cooking for 2-3 minutes until exterior turns golden and crispy.
- Remove from heat, slice diagonally if desired, and garnish with chopped chives.
- Serve immediately with optional hot sauce on the side for an extra kick of flavor.
Notes
- Ensure sausages are fully cooked by checking internal temperature reaches 160°F to prevent foodborne illness.
- Experiment with different protein options like turkey sausage or plant-based alternatives for a healthier twist.
- Keep tortillas warm and pliable by wrapping in a clean kitchen towel before assembling roll-ups.
