Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

Flour tortillas work best because they roll neatly without cracking, but whole wheat or low-carb tortillas also work if you prefer. Cheddar cheese melts beautifully here, though you can swap it with mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack for a little heat.

For the sausage, use whatever you have links, patties, crumbles, or even leftover breakfast sausage from another recipe. And if you’d rather go lighter, try turkey sausage or chicken sausage. As for the eggs, soft-scrambled eggs make the fluffiest filling, but you can cook them firmer if you like your breakfast rolls a little sturdier.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1 — Cook the eggs
In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk the eggs with a sprinkle of salt and pepper, then pour into the pan. Cook gently, stirring until they are softly scrambled.

Step 2 — Warm the tortillas
Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side until pliable. This helps them roll without tearing.

Step 3 — Assemble the roll ups
Lay out each tortilla. Add a spoonful of eggs, sprinkle with shredded cheese, and place one sausage link (or a spoonful of crumbled sausage) on top.

Step 4 — Roll and seal
Roll each tortilla tightly like a burrito. Place seam-side down in the skillet to lightly toast and seal the edges.

Step 5 — Melt everything together
Toast the roll ups for 1–2 minutes per side until the cheese melts and the outside becomes lightly golden.

Step 6 — Serve warm
Slice in half if you like, or enjoy whole for a true grab-and-go breakfast.
