Directions and Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until the mixture is well blended and slightly frothy.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, pour in the egg mixture. Cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set and lightly scrambled. Remove from heat immediately to avoid overcooking.
- Add the chopped sausage and shredded cheese to the warm eggs, stirring until everything is evenly mixed and the cheese begins to melt slightly.
- Lay out each tortilla flat on your working surface. Spoon an equal portion of the egg mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
- Carefully roll up each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you go to encase the delicious filling inside.
- Place the roll-ups seam side down in a greased skillet over medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and toasted, creating a beautiful crispy exterior.
- Once perfectly toasted, slice each roll-up in half and serve warm. For extra flavor, consider adding salsa or hot sauce on the side!
Notes or Tips
Feel free to personalize your roll-ups with your favorite ingredients! Diced vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or spinach can add a fresh crunch and additional nutrients. You can also swap the cheese for your favorite variant – Monterey Jack or pepper jack would make for a zesty kick. These roll-ups are also great for meal prep; simply store them in the refrigerator and heat them in the morning for a quick breakfast on the go!
Cooking Techniques
Scrambling eggs is all about gentle heat and timing. Keep the heat on medium; too high and the eggs will become dry. Stir the eggs constantly to allow them to cook evenly and maintain a soft texture. Additionally, ensuring that you remove the eggs from heat just as they begin to set will leave you with fluffy, creamy scrambled eggs that pair wonderfully with the rich flavors of sausage and cheese.
FAQ
Can I freeze these roll-ups?
Absolutely! Allow the roll-ups to cool completely, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and store them in an airtight container. They can be frozen for up to three months. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply reheat in the microwave or skillet until warmed through.
Can I substitute chicken or turkey sausage?
Yes, chicken or turkey sausage can be a lighter alternative that still packs a punch of flavor. Just ensure they are fully cooked before adding them to the egg mixture.
