Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large sausage links
- 4 eggs
- 4 slices cheese
Bread and Wrap Ingredients:
- 4 large tortillas (8 inch)
- 2 tbsp butter
Seasoning and Extras:
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp chopped chives (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat skillet to medium heat and cook sausage links until golden brown and fully cooked through, approximately 8-10 minutes, rotating occasionally for even browning.
- Remove sausages from skillet and set aside. In the same pan, melt butter and spread evenly across cooking surface.
- Crack eggs directly into skillet, season with salt and pepper. Cook eggs sunny-side up or over-easy, maintaining a soft yolk, about 3-4 minutes.
- Warm tortillas in microwave for 15-20 seconds to increase flexibility and prevent cracking during rolling.
- Place one slice of cheese in center of each tortilla, positioning it to create a base for the other ingredients.
- Carefully transfer one cooked sausage link onto the cheese, then gently layer the prepared egg on top of the sausage.
- Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in sides to create a secure wrap, ensuring ingredients are completely enclosed.
- Return rolled-ups to skillet, seam-side down, and lightly toast for 1-2 minutes to seal and create a crispy exterior.
- Optional: Sprinkle chopped chives over the top of each roll-up for added fresh flavor and visual appeal.
- Slice diagonally and serve immediately while warm and cheese is still melted.
Notes
- Customize meat options by swapping sausage with turkey bacon, ham, or vegetarian plant-based protein for dietary preferences.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like pepper jack, sharp cheddar, or goat cheese to elevate flavor profiles and accommodate taste preferences.
- Meal prep friendly by preparing roll-ups in advance and storing in refrigerator for quick reheating, ensuring crispy texture by using air fryer or skillet instead of microwave.
- Consider gluten-free alternatives by using corn tortillas or large lettuce wraps for low-carb, celiac-friendly versions of this breakfast recipe.
