2. Ingredients: What You’ll Need for Your Sausage Egg and Cheese Delight
Here’s what you’ll need to create these amazing sausage egg and cheese breakfast roll-ups. Fresh, quality ingredients are key to a truly delicious and satisfying breakfast.
- 4 large eggs: These form the base of our delicious filling.
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese: Feel free to experiment with other cheeses like Monterey Jack or Colby Jack for a different flavor profile.
- 1/2 pound breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled: Use your favorite brand of sausage. For a healthier option, try turkey or chicken sausage.
- 4 large flour tortillas: These act as the perfect vessel for our savory filling.

3. Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients for Flavorful Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Roll-Ups
Before you start cooking, gather all your ingredients and prep them.

4. Step 2: Cook the Filling to Perfection
Now it’s time to get cooking! In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. While the butter is melting, whisk the eggs together in a bowl. Season the eggs generously with salt and pepper. Pour the seasoned eggs into the skillet. Scramble the eggs using a spatula, gently pushing the cooked egg towards the center of the pan to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue scrambling until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly moist. Just before the eggs are fully cooked, incorporate the cooked and crumbled sausage and shredded cheese into the pan. Continue cooking for another minute or two, until the cheese is melted and the sausage is heated through. This will ensure the cheese is gooey and gives that perfect texture that elevates your sausage egg and cheese breakfast roll-ups.
5. Step 3: Assemble Your Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Roll-Ups
Once your filling is ready, it’s time to roll! Lay a warm tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the sausage and egg mixture in the center of the tortilla, leaving about an inch of space around the edges. Fold in the sides of the tortilla towards the center, then tightly roll it up from the bottom to create a secure breakfast roll-up. Repeat this step until you have used all your ingredients, making delicious sausage egg and cheese breakfast roll-ups perfect for the entire family!

6. Step 4: Toast the Roll-Ups for Extra Crispy Goodness
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place your roll-ups seam side down to help seal them. Toast them until they are golden brown on all sides. This typically takes about 2-3 minutes per side. Toasting the roll-ups not only gives them a delightful crispy exterior but also warms the filling inside, making your sausage egg and cheese breakfast roll-ups even more enjoyable. You can also add a bit of cheese on the outside for extra crisp.
7. Storage Tips for Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Roll-Ups
Wondering what to do with any leftover sausage egg and cheese breakfast roll-ups? Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, you can use the microwave, toaster oven, or skillet. For best results, reheat in a skillet to retain the crispy exterior. These roll-ups are a fantastic make-ahead breakfast option for busy mornings.
