So, without further ado, let’s gather our ingredients and roll up some goodness!
Ingredients
For these scrumptious Sausage Egg & Cheese Roll-Ups, you will need the following:
A handful of cooked sausage, crumbled
4 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 large flour tortillas
Optional: diced bell peppers, onions, or hot sauce for an extra kick
I sometimes swap out cheddar for mozzarella if that’s what I have on hand, and it works just as well!
Now, let’s move on to the directions and roll our way to a delightful meal!
Directions
1. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and pour in the egg mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set.
3. Lay out a tortilla and sprinkle some cheese down the center. Top with a portion of the cooked sausage and scrambled eggs.
4. Roll up the tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go.
5. Place the roll-up seam side down on the skillet and cook until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
6. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
7. Slice the roll-ups on a diagonal and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or salsa.
Notes
Through trial and error, I’ve found that using a non-stick skillet is key to ensuring the roll-ups don’t stick and tear apart. So, if you don’t have one, consider greasing your pan generously.
Don’t worry if your roll-ups look a bit messy at first – it’s all part of the fun! Once you take that first delicious bite, presentation won’t matter much.
If you want to make a larger batch, these roll-ups can be easily doubled or tripled. They also reheat well in the oven, so you can enjoy them for days to come.
Variations
One experiment that didn’t quite work out for me was adding too many fillings to the roll-ups. Stick to a moderate amount of sausage, eggs, and cheese to ensure that the flavors are balanced.
For a healthier twist, you can use turkey sausage or add in some sautéed veggies like spinach or mushrooms. Get creative with your fillings and discover your perfect combination!
Equipment
If you don’t have a non-stick skillet, fear not! You can use a well-seasoned cast-iron pan or even a griddle with a bit of extra oil to achieve that crispy exterior on your roll-ups.
Storage Information
Though technically these roll-ups can be stored in the fridge for a couple of days, let’s be honest – they’re so delicious that they rarely last that long in my house!
Serving Suggestions
Personally, I love serving these roll-ups with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh herbs like chives or parsley. It adds a cool contrast to the warm, savory flavors of the roll-ups.
Pro Tips
I once tried rushing the cooking process and ended up with soggy roll-ups. Patience is key here – make sure to cook each one until they are golden and crisp for the perfect texture!
Don’t be afraid to play around with the seasonings. A dash of cayenne or smoked paprika can elevate the flavors and add a little extra kick to your roll-ups.
So there you have it – a simple yet satisfying recipe for Sausage Egg & Cheese Roll-Ups that’s sure to become a staple in your kitchen. Get creative, make it your own, and enjoy every flavorful bite!
