Directions and Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage links according to package instructions until they are beautifully browned and cooked through. Once done, remove them from the heat and slice the links into bite-sized pieces that will mingle perfectly with the eggs.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until the mixture is light and frothy. This will give your eggs a lovely, fluffy texture!
- Using the same skillet, pour in your egg mixture and scramble over medium heat. Stir gently until the eggs are just set and fully cooked. Remove from heat, then fold in the cooked sausage and shredded cheese, allowing the cheese to melt into that savory mixture.
- On a clean surface, lay your flour tortillas flat. Spoon an equal amount of the scrumptious sausage, egg, and cheese mixture onto one side of each tortilla, creating a delightful filling.
- Roll each tortilla tightly from the filled side, tucking in the edges as you go, to ensure none of that delicious filling escapes. Secure each roll with toothpicks if needed.
- Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat, lightly greasing it with cooking spray or a drizzle of oil. You want it just hot enough to give your roll-ups a lovely crisp.
- Place the rolled-up tortillas seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and have a delightful crispness that will make you want to dive right in.
- Once golden and crispy, remove the roll-ups from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Slice into bite-sized pieces if desired, and serve warm to revel in the cheesy, savory goodness!
Notes or Tips
For an added touch of flavor, consider including sautéed bell peppers or onions into the egg mixture. You can also experiment with different types of cheese, like pepper jack for a little heat, or mozzarella for a milder flavor. These roll-ups can be made ahead of time and enjoyed throughout the week—simply reheat them in the microwave or skillet!
Cooking Techniques
The key technique here is cooking the eggs just until they are set but still creamy, ensuring that they don’t dry out. Scrambling the eggs gently gives them that fluffy texture and allows them to blend beautifully with the sausage and cheese. Rolling the tortillas tightly ensures that they hold their shape and every bite is packed with delicious filling!
FAQ
Can I make these roll-ups vegetarian?
Absolutely! Simply substitute the sausage with your favorite plant-based protein or skip it altogether, and add extra veggies like spinach, mushrooms, or tomatoes for flavor and nutrition.
How do I store leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or skillet before serving.
