Tasty Sausage Egg Cheese Wraps

I made these handy roll-ups when I was trying to convince my teenagers to eat a proper breakfast instead of dashing out with just a snack bar. I needed something quick they could hold on their way out, but it had to actually satisfy them until lunchtime. Scrambled eggs, sausage, and gooey cheese bundled in a warm tortilla do the trick. It's easy to carry, nothing falls apart, and it totally beats anything from a fast-food drive-thru.

Now my husband wants these every weekend, since he says they're way better than any diner breakfast burrito. My daughter, who never touched breakfast before, actually gets up on time to grab one. Even my mother-in-law was shocked and told me they're way tastier (and cheaper) than anything she gets with her fancy coffee order.

Essential Ingredients

• Soft flour tortillas Burrito-sized ones stop stuffing from leaking out
• Eggs Scramble gently so they're creamy and not rubbery
• Sausage links I usually go for pork, but turkey is just as good
• Cheese that melts Sharp cheddar is my top pick, but anything melty works
• Simple process Cook, fill, then crisp up in a pan

Easy Step-by-Step Guide

Toasting to Finish

Put your rolled wraps in the same pan you used before, placing the seam side down first. Leave them over medium heat for a couple of minutes per side so they get nice and golden all over. The crisp tortilla holds everything together and keeps the fillings inside.

Rolling 'Em Up

Fold both sides of your tortilla in toward the center, then roll it up nice and snug from the bottom. Keep the seam tucked underneath when you're done, so nothing escapes.

Stuffing Time

Set a sausage along the middle of a tortilla. Spoon on some scrambled eggs next to it and toss cheese on top. Don't pile too much or you'll have trouble rolling them closed.

Eggs on the Go

Crack your eggs and scramble them in the pan you used for sausage (all those tasty bits left behind add flavor). Keep the heat low and stir a lot so the eggs stay creamy—not dry.

Sizzle the Sausage

Fry the sausage links in a skillet over medium heat, turning every once in a while so they're evenly browned all over. Give it about 8 to 10 minutes. Pull them out but leave the tasty drippings in the pan.

After messing up the eggs the first time and making them too firm, I started leaving them a little soft. The heat from toasting gets them just right and makes them creamy. Also, cramming in too much filling seemed like a good idea, but honestly, less is better for keeping everything neat.

Tasty Matches

You can totally eat these alone—they're filling enough. But I like tossing some juicy fruit or crispy potatoes on the plate. A glass of OJ or hot coffee brings it all together. If it's brunch, we put out salsa or hot sauce so people can jazz things up.

Fun Twists

Want veggies? Mix in some chopped peppers or onions with your eggs. Swap the sausage for bacon or ham if that's your thing. Grab turkey sausage and toss in a handful of spinach for something lighter. Spicy cheese like pepper jack is another favorite at our house.

Make-Ahead Tips

These are best fresh out of the pan, but you can knock out a batch early and stash them in the fridge for a few days. Wrap each one up in foil and pop it in the oven or toaster oven when you're ready so it gets crispy again. Stash extras in the freezer for up to a month. Thaw overnight and reheat whenever you need a quick breakfast.

Honestly, these sausage, egg, and cheese rolls are now our favorite busy-morning fix. They pack all the stuff we love in breakfast into one easy package.
