Ingredients

(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)

4 large eggs
4 small flour tortillas (or larger, if preferred)
½ lb breakfast sausage (mild or spicy, based on your preference)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a cheese of your choice)
1 tablespoon butter
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon milk (optional, for fluffier eggs)
Fresh chives or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Directions

Cook the Sausage:
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula as it browns. Cook for 5–7 minutes until fully done. Transfer the cooked sausage to a plate and set aside.
Scramble the Eggs:
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (if using), salt, and pepper. Melt butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the egg mixture and gently scramble until just set, about 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Assemble the Roll-Ups:
Place each tortilla flat on a clean surface. On one half, layer some scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, and shredded cheese. Fold in the sides and roll tightly to enclose the filling.
Cook the Roll-Ups:
Return the skillet to medium-low heat. Place roll-ups seam-side down in the skillet and toast for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and the cheese has melted.
Serve:
Slice roll-ups in half if desired. Garnish with chopped chives or parsley. Serve hot.
