Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 4 breakfast sausage links
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Wrap Ingredients:
- 4 flour tortillas (medium size, 8-inch)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Seasonings and Extras:
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat and cook sausage links for 8-10 minutes, rotating occasionally until they’re evenly browned and reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
- Remove sausages from skillet, set aside, and drain excess grease, leaving a light coating for cooking eggs.
- Crack eggs into a bowl, whisk with salt and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Pour whisked eggs into the same skillet, gently scramble using a spatula, cooking for 2-3 minutes until softly set but not completely dry.
- Warm tortillas in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to increase flexibility.
- Brush each tortilla lightly with olive oil to enhance pliability and prevent sticking.
- Place one sausage link in the center of each tortilla, then top with scrambled eggs and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese.
- Roll each tortilla tightly, folding in sides to create a secure wrap, ensuring filling remains contained.
- Return rolled-ups to skillet, seam-side down, and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden and crisp.
- Transfer to a plate, garnish with chopped chives if desired, and serve immediately while warm and crispy.
Notes
- Swap sausage links with turkey or plant-based sausage for a leaner, vegetarian-friendly alternative that still delivers fantastic flavor.
- Control egg scrambling by maintaining low-medium heat to prevent overcooking and preserve soft, creamy texture.
- Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas to accommodate different dietary preferences and nutritional needs.
- Experiment with cheese varieties like pepper jack or monterey jack for exciting flavor variations that keep the dish interesting.
