Egg Cheese and Sausage Morning Roll Ups are the ultimate fix for hectic days when you crave something satisfying but don't want a mess of pots to wash. These warm tortillas stuffed with soft eggs, tasty sausage, and melty cheese make every bite feel like a hug in your hand. I like whipping these up for family get-togethers or when it’s freezing out and we want something quick that still feels special.

My family first fell for these on a wild Christmas morning ages ago, and now making our own custom versions is a weekly thing we all laugh through together.

Tasty Ingredients

  • Large flour tortillas: Go for the soft kind—they hold more filling and make rolling easy
  • Shredded cheddar cheese: Melts perfectly and packs flavor; sharp cheddar gives a bold punch, or swap for pepper jack if that’s your thing
  • Butter: Makes the eggs extra creamy and keeps ‘em from sticking—real butter gives the best flavor
  • Black pepper: Cracked fresh for a little heat
  • Salt: Makes everything taste better—don’t skip it
  • Milk: Richer with whole milk, but any kind will do—heavy cream makes the eggs even softer if you want
  • Large eggs: Fresher eggs fluff up the best; crack them right before you cook
  • Breakfast sausage: Pick your favorite brand or try turkey sausage or a plant-based one for something lighter

Simple How-To Steps

Serve It Up
Right away, move the finished rolls onto a plate while they’re still all gooey and hot—the cheese is at its best and the tortilla is perfect
Roll and Get Crispy
Fold in your tortilla’s ends, roll it up, and for some crunch, brush with a little melted butter. Lay them seam-down in the skillet and toast each side for a tiny bit till golden
Wrap It Up
Lay tortillas out, then scoop the warm sausage, egg, and cheese mix down the middle of each one
Mix the Fillings
Turn off the burner, toss in your sausage and cheddar, and mix just till the cheese softens and sausage is spread around
Egg Time
Same pan, new move—melt butter over medium-low, whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. Pour in, don’t touch till you see the sides start to firm, then gently move eggs in from the edge to the middle. Stop when they’re cooked through but still creamy
Sausage First
Heat a skillet on medium, crumble in sausage, and cook till it’s all browned—about five to seven minutes. Stir now and then so pieces get crisp on all sides, then move them to a paper towel so they aren’t greasy

Cheddar cheese is what brings it all together, making everything creamy and that oozy texture we always want. My little brother used to flop half his filling on the floor trying to roll one, but now he’s the champion breakfast roll up maker in our house.

How to Store Leftovers

Keep extras wrapped up tight in plastic or foil in the fridge for up to three days. Pop them in the microwave or skillet when you’re ready for more. To stash them longer, freeze each one separately and heat up straight from frozen in the oven or microwave.

Swapping Ingredients

Try out turkey sausage or veggie crumbles if you’re cutting back on fat. Toss in some cooked onions or bell peppers for even more color and flavor. Use whatever cheese is hanging around, and swap to whole wheat tortillas for some extra fiber.

Easy Sides

Put these roll ups next to some fresh fruit or a green salad for a well-rounded breakfast or brunch. Throw in hash browns or some roasted taters if you’re extra hungry. At our place, a little salsa or hot sauce on the side always disappears fast.

How It Started

Rolling up eggs, sausage, and cheese in a tortilla started in Southwestern US and Mexican cooking, making quick handheld meals the go-to for busy folks. This version is quicker and easier for kids and has become a breakfast staple in tons of homes on the go.

Common Recipe Questions

→ Can I use a different type of sausage?

Totally! Swap in plant-based or turkey sausage if you want. Pick whatever matches your taste or needs best.

→ How do I keep the eggs creamy?

Keep the heat low and stir now and then for extra soft eggs. A splash of heavy cream makes them even smoother than milk does.

→ What other cheeses can I use?

Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or even pepper jack all melt great and each brings a different flair to your wrap.

→ Can I add vegetables to the filling?

Sure thing. Try chopping in bell peppers, spinach, or onions and cook them with your sausage for extra taste and crunch.

→ How can I make the tortillas crispy?

Give your tortillas a quick butter brush and toast them (seam side down) in a warm pan till they turn crispy and golden.

→ Are these suitable for meal prep?

Yep! Put them together ahead of time, wrap them up, and keep in the fridge. Reheat in a pan or zap in the microwave when you’re hungry.

Ingredients You’ll Need

→ Filling

01 120 g sharp cheddar, shredded
02 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
03 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, ground
04 0.5 teaspoon salt
05 60 ml milk
06 6 large eggs
07 1 pack breakfast sausage

→ Assembly

08 6 big flour tortillas

Steps to Make It

Step 01

Dig in and enjoy these toasty roll-ups while they're hot.

Step 02

If you want, warm a nonstick pan and toast the roll-ups with the seam side down. Flip them every minute or two until each side's golden and crisp.

Step 03

Tuck in the sides, then roll up your tortilla from the bottom all the way up so nothing spills out.

Step 04

Lay out your tortillas. Scoop some egg, sausage, and cheese mix onto the middle of each one, making sure to split it up evenly.

Step 05

Take the pan off the burner. Mix in the sausage you just cooked and the shredded cheese. Stir until everything’s blended together.

Step 06

Pour the eggs into your skillet with the melted butter. Let them set along the edges first, then gently move them toward the middle with your spatula. Keep going until they’re soft and barely set.

Step 07

Crack those eggs into a bowl. Toss in the milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth.

Step 08

Let the butter melt in your skillet on low to medium heat.

Step 09

Move the cooked sausage onto a plate with a paper towel so all that extra grease gets soaked up.

Step 10

Toss your sausage in the pan, break it apart, and fry until it's nicely browned and cooked through. Takes around five to seven minutes.

Step 11

Fire up your skillet and heat it over a medium flame.
