🛒 Ingredients
Base Ingredients:
-
4 large flour tortillas (8-inch size; can sub with whole wheat or low-carb wraps)
-
4 large eggs
-
4 breakfast sausage links (pork or turkey, cooked and chopped)
-
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a cheese blend)
-
1 tbsp butter or oil (for scrambling eggs)
-
Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional Add-Ins:
-
1/4 cup diced bell peppers or onions (for added crunch and color)
-
1/4 avocado, sliced (for a creamy twist)
-
Hot sauce or sriracha (for heat lovers)
Substitutions:
-
Use plant-based sausage or tofu scramble for a vegetarian version.
-
Swap cheddar with mozzarella, pepper jack, or vegan cheese.
-
For gluten-free, use gluten-free tortillas.
Instructions
In a skillet over medium heat, cook sausage links until browned and cooked through. Slice into small rounds or crumble if preferred. Set aside.
In the same pan, melt butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into a bowl, whisk with a pinch of salt and pepper, then pour into the pan. Gently scramble until soft and fluffy. Remove from heat.
Pro Tip: Don’t overcook the eggs — soft-scrambled keeps the roll-ups juicy.
Lay a tortilla flat. Add scrambled eggs, sausage, and shredded cheese down the center. Add any optional ingredients like peppers or hot sauce.
Fold in the sides, then roll tightly like a burrito. Place seam-side down in a heated pan or panini press and toast for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
Slice in half and serve warm with fruit, salsa, or coffee!
