Sausage, Egg, Cheese Breakfast Roll-Ups

These breakfast roll-ups are the perfect combination of savory sausage, creamy eggs, and melted cheese wrapped in a soft tortilla, making them ideal for busy mornings. Using an air fryer ensures the tortilla gets perfectly crisp while keeping the inside warm and gooey.

Ingredients (Serves 4)

  • 4 small tortillas (low-carb options available if preferred)
  • 4 breakfast sausage links (pork, turkey, or plant-based options)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk or water (for scrambling eggs)
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese blend)
  • 1 tbsp butter or oil (for cooking eggs)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Hot sauce or salsa for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Sausage

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place sausage links in the air fryer basket and cook for 7-8 minutes, turning halfway through. Remove and set aside.

Step 2: Scramble the Eggs

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  3. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, until soft and fluffy. Remove from heat.

Step 3: Assemble the Roll-Ups

  1. Lay each tortilla flat and sprinkle a small amount of cheese in the center.
  2. Add a sausage link and a scoop of scrambled eggs on top of the cheese.
  3. Sprinkle more cheese over the eggs.
  4. Roll the tortilla tightly, folding in the sides to secure the filling.

Step 4: Air Fry the Roll-Ups

  1. Place the roll-ups seam-side down in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray with cooking oil to help them crisp up.
  2. Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 5-6 minutes or until the tortillas are golden and crispy.
  3. Serve warm with optional hot sauce or salsa.
