Step-by-Step Instructions
Making these Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Roll-Ups is a breeze! Follow these easy steps to create your delicious morning meal:
- Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Stir occasionally until browned and fully cooked. This should take about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Cook the Eggs: In the same skillet, add a bit of butter or oil and pour in the egg mixture. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are soft and scrambled, which takes around 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Assemble the Roll-Ups: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the cooked sausage and scrambled eggs onto each tortilla. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Roll the Tortillas: Carefully roll up each tortilla tightly, securing the filling inside.
- Cook the Roll-Ups: Heat a little butter or oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Place the roll-up seam side down and cook for 2-3 minutes, turning to brown all sides and melt the cheese inside.
- Serve: Slice the roll-ups into bite-sized pieces and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious and satisfying breakfast!
These steps are straightforward and ensure that your roll-ups are crispy on the outside while remaining soft and flavorful on the inside.
Meal Prep Tips
Meal prepping can save you valuable time during the week, and these breakfast roll-ups are perfect for making ahead of time! Here are some tips to effectively meal prep:
- Batch-Cook: Prepare a double or triple batch of the roll-ups on the weekend. This way, you’ll have enough for several breakfasts throughout the week.
- Storage: After cooking, allow the roll-ups to cool completely before storing them. Place them in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap. They can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Reheating: To reheat, simply microwave them for about 1-2 minutes if they’re from the fridge, or 3-4 minutes if frozen. Alternatively, you can reheat them in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.
- Customize Portions: Consider portioning your roll-ups by wrapping them individually. This not only makes reheating easier but also allows you to mix and match flavors throughout the week.
With these meal prep tips, you’ll be ready to enjoy a delicious breakfast, even on the busiest of mornings!
Variations
Don’t be afraid to get creative with your Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Roll-Ups! Here are some variations to consider:
- Spicy Kick: Add jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce to the egg mixture for those who enjoy a little heat.
- Vegetarian Delight: Use plant-based sausage or even sautéed vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms as filling.
- Gourmet Touch: Elevate your roll-ups by adding slices of avocado, crumbled feta, or using different gourmet cheeses.
- Pairing Ideas: Serve your roll-ups with salsa, guacamole, or a side of fresh fruit for a complete breakfast experience.
