Hearty Cheesy Sausage and Egg Wraps

As seen in Small Bites, Big Flavors.

If you want easier mornings, try cheesy sausage egg wraps. Scramble some eggs, fry up sausage, mix in shredded cheddar, and roll that all up tight in a tortilla. Switch out the cheese, add spinach or salsa if you want. They’re a snap to make and perfect for prepping ahead. For an extra golden crust and stretchy cheese, give them a quick turn in a hot skillet. These travel easily whether you’re hustling out the door or packing lunch.

Scrambled egg, sausage, and cheddar wraps totally save chaotic mornings. They're packed with fluffy eggs, juicy sausage, and melted cheddar, all wrapped up in a soft tortilla. My family grabs these on busy days, and they're awesome to make ahead of time.

We gave these a shot one Sunday, now my teens come home and heat them up after school. There's always a pile chilling in our freezer for hectic days.

Loaded Ingredients

  • Salsa, hot sauce, or green onions (chopped): These aren't needed but take the flavor and look up a notch
  • Salt and pepper (black): Wake up the flavors—fresh ground black pepper smells extra nice
  • Milk: Makes your eggs soft and creamy—whole milk kicks up the richness
  • Eggs (large): Fluffy and bright—super fresh ones are the best
  • Butter: Gives eggs that creamy feel and rich flavor—real butter's the game changer
  • Sausage (breakfast): Brings all the meaty goodness—use your favorite, ground or linked, seasoned how you like
  • Flour tortillas: The wrap that keeps everything inside—softer and sturdy tortillas work best
  • Cheddar (shredded): Super melty and tasty—try Monterey Jack or pepper Jack to change it up

Chill Steps You Can Follow

Brown the Sausage:
Cook sausage on medium until it's browned with no pink, about ten minutes. Move to a plate and keep the grease in the skillet—it makes eggs tastier and doesn't slow you down.
Scramble Up Eggs:
Stir the eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. Drop the butter into a pan on medium, pour in the eggs, and gently stir with a spatula. Stop just before they're dry so they stay creamy.
Put the Wraps Together:
Soften tortillas (microwave or toss in a pan). Spoon a quarter of your eggs in each, then stack sausage and top with cheddar. Warm eggs help the cheese start melting right away.
Tightly Roll Them Up:
Fold in the ends, then roll up your tortilla as snug as you can. Keeps stuff from falling out and easy to pack for wherever you go.
Crisp and Warm:
Heat those wraps in a dry pan over medium so both sides get golden, one to two minutes per side. This little toasting makes them less messy and warms the cheese through.

The gooey cheese is the secret joy—stringy, melty, totally satisfying. When we tried these first, my youngest insisted on grating twice as much for 'extra ooze.' Now, that's our rule every single time.

Storing Advice

Cover each in foil for the fridge. If you’re freezing, put some plastic wrap under the foil. Good for three days cold or up to two months frozen. Heat in the oven or zap in the microwave till it’s hot and the cheese melts again.

Switch It Up

Any sausage goes—chicken, turkey, or even meatless if that’s your thing. Try peppers, mushrooms, or spinach mixed with the eggs if you like veggies. If you’re out of cheddar, Monterey Jack or pepper Jack swap in nicely.

Common Recipe Questions

→ How about switching up the cheese?

Absolutely, try mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or any good melting cheese—just use what melts nicely.

→ How can I avoid soggy wraps?

Let the sausage and eggs cool off a little before wrapping—less steam means no sogginess.

→ Can I freeze these for later?

Yep! Just snugly wrap them in plastic, then foil, and pop them in the freezer. Move them to the fridge overnight to thaw, then warm them up before eating.

→ Any good veggies to toss in?

Chopped bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, or spinach work great—cook ’em up first, then stir into the eggs.

→ What's the best way to reheat these wraps?

Just zap them in the microwave for about a minute or toast in a skillet or oven if you like crunchy edges.

→ What are some tasty sauces to dip these in?

Salsa, anything spicy, or even a smooth avocado spread will really boost the flavor.

What You'll Need

→ Eggs Layer

01 6 large eggs
02 2 tablespoons whole milk
03 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
04 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

→ Filling Center

05 1 tablespoon plain butter
06 4 breakfast sausages or 225 g sausage meat
07 1 cup (100 g) shredded cheddar or another cheese you like

→ Wrap

08 4 big flour tortillas (roughly 20 cm across)

→ Toppings on Top

09 Hot sauce, salsa, or sliced green onions for extra flavor

Steps to Follow

Step 01

For a crispy bite, put your rolled wraps in a hot skillet with the seam down. Press for a minute or two on both sides. That'll melt the cheese and make the outside golden. Grab some salsa, hot sauce, or green onion for the top if you want.

Step 02

Tuck in the sides of your tortilla, then roll everything up from the bottom so your filling stays inside.

Step 04

Pop the tortillas into a hot pan for a few moments on each side till soft, or nuke each one for ten seconds so they flex easy.

Step 05

Drop the butter in your pan to melt, pour in eggs, and gently mix as it cooks. You want eggs to be set, still soft, and creamy—take off heat right away.

Step 06

Crack eggs into your bowl, pour in the milk, sprinkle salt and pepper, and whisk until everything's smooth and bubbly.

Step 07

Set your pan on medium, add sausages, and turn them around so they get cooked and browned in about 8 to 10 minutes. If you're using ground, crumble it in and stir until there's no pink. Move the sausage out and keep it handy.

Additional Tips

  1. Store any extras wrapped in foil in the fridge. They'll stay good for 3 days. Just reheat when you need a quick bite.
  2. Want to save them for later? Cool down, wrap tight in plastic then foil, and stick them in the freezer up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and warm them up before you eat.
  3. Toss in some chopped spinach or diced bell pepper to add more color and crunch.
