Cheesy Sausage and Egg Wraps

Cheesy Sausage and Egg Wraps are my favorite solution for busy mornings when I want something hot and filling but quick. Loaded with eggs, sausage, and golden cheese all wrapped up in a soft tortilla, these wraps keep everyone satisfied and are easy enough for weekday breakfast or meal prep.

I made these wraps when my kids had their first early soccer game and we needed breakfast on the go. Now I keep a batch ready in the fridge each Sunday.

Ingredients

• Large eggs: six create fluffy protein packed filling Go for eggs with golden yolks for best flavor
• Milk: two tablespoons lend richness and tenderness to the scramble Use whole milk for even better texture
• Salt: one fourth teaspoon balanced seasoning that keeps the eggs lively Choose fine sea salt for even distribution
• Black pepper: one fourth teaspoon adds subtle bite Fresh cracked always tastes best
• Butter: one tablespoon ensures the eggs do not stick and adds a creamy undertone Use real butter if possible
• Breakfast sausage: four links or half pound ground gives these wraps their signature satisfying flavor Look for well seasoned sausage without fillers
• Flour tortillas: four large eight inch holds all the goodness Look for ones with a slight chew and no cracks
• Shredded cheddar cheese: one cup for melty richness and tang Try sharp cheddar for bigger flavor or use what you have on hand
• Optional toppings: salsa hot sauce green onions brighten and personalize each wrap Choose fresh salsa for zing

Step-by-Step Instructions

Cook the Sausage:

Brown sausage links or crumbled ground sausage in a skillet over medium heat for about ten minutes Cook until fully cooked through and golden Remove sausage from the pan and set aside letting any extra fat drain off on a paper towel

Scramble the Eggs:

In a bowl beat the eggs with milk salt and pepper until smooth Pour butter into the same heated skillet and melt completely Add the egg mixture and cook gently over medium heat stirring constantly until the eggs are just set and creamy Immediately remove from the heat to avoid overcooking

Warm the Tortillas:

Make the tortillas tender by warming them for a few seconds Heat in the microwave wrapped in a damp towel or briefly in a dry skillet over low heat until soft and pliable

Assemble the Wraps:

Lay out one tortilla on a flat surface Spoon a quarter of the scrambled eggs down the middle Top evenly with the cooked sausage Sprinkle with a generous amount of cheese so it melts into the eggs and sausage

Roll the Wraps:

Fold the tortilla sides toward the center then roll up snugly from the bottom making sure all filling is enclosed Set seam side down so the wrap holds together

Heat and Serve:

Place each wrap back in the skillet or on a grill pan over medium heat for a minute or two per side This crisps the tortilla and helps the cheese melt further Serve piping hot with optional salsa hot sauce or fresh green onions

My favorite part is the cheese that melts and binds everything together My kids always argue over who gets the cheesiest wrap which is now a little family joke when these are on the weekend menu
