Introduction
These breakfast wraps combine classic morning favorites into one handheld meal. They are portable, customizable, and ideal for making ahead. Use store-bought tortillas and pre-cooked sausages for extra speed.
Ingredients
- 6 breakfast sausage links (cooked) or 12 small cocktail sausages
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tbsp milk (optional, for creamier eggs)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus extra for topping)
- 4 medium flour tortillas (8-inch)
- 1 tbsp butter or oil (for cooking eggs)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: diced bell pepper, chopped onion, hot sauce
Instructions
- Cook the sausages: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the sausage links until fully cooked (about 8β10 minutes). Remove and keep warm. If using pre-cooked sausages, heat until warm.
- Prepare the eggs: Whisk eggs with milk (if using), salt, and pepper. Melt butter in a nonstick pan over low-medium heat. Pour in the eggs and gently stir with a spatula until soft curds form and eggs are just set β remove from heat (carryover will finish them).
- Assemble: Lay a tortilla flat. Place 1 sausage link down the center, top with a portion of scrambled eggs (about ΒΌ of the eggs) and a generous sprinkle of shredded cheddar.
- Wrap & seal: Fold the sides over the filling and roll tightly. Place seam-side down to keep closed.
- Finish & melt: Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and lightly toast each wrap seam-side down for 1β2 minutes per side until golden and the cheese melts. Alternatively, place them seam-side down on a baking sheet under a broiler for 1β2 minutes.
- Serve: Slice in half if desired and serve hot with ketchup, hot sauce, or your favorite dip. Wrap in foil for on-the-go eating.
Tips & Variations
- Swap proteins: Use bacon, ham, shredded chicken, or a plant-based sausage.
- Extra veggies: SautΓ© bell peppers, onions, or spinach and add to the eggs.
- Cheese blend: Mix cheddar with Monterey Jack or mozzarella for meltiness.
- Meal prep: Assemble, wrap in foil, and refrigerate up to 2 days. Reheat in oven or toaster oven for best texture.
- Spicy: Add sriracha, harissa, or chopped jalapeΓ±os for heat.
