Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 1 lb Italian sausage
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by removing the Italian sausage from its casing and crumbling it into small pieces. Dice the bell peppers and onions into uniform small chunks.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the crumbled Italian sausage and cook for 5-6 minutes, breaking it into smaller pieces with a wooden spatula until it's fully browned and no pink remains.
- Add diced bell peppers and onions to the skillet with the sausage. Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened and translucent.
- Season the sausage and vegetable mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to distribute the seasoning evenly.
- In a separate non-stick pan, scramble the eggs over medium heat. Whisk the eggs continuously to create soft, fluffy scrambled eggs. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes until just set.
- Warm the flour tortillas briefly in a microwave or on a griddle to make them more pliable for rolling.
- Lay out each tortilla and evenly distribute the sausage and vegetable mixture across the center of each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Top the sausage mixture with scrambled eggs and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the eggs.
- Carefully roll each tortilla tightly from bottom to top, tucking in the sides to create a secure wrap.
- Optional: For a crispy exterior, place the rolled wraps seam-side down in a hot skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from heat, let cool for a minute, then slice diagonally and serve immediately while hot and fresh.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time in the morning, you can prepare the sausage and vegetable mixture the night before. Just reheat it before assembling the roll ups for a quick breakfast.
- Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to add your favorite vegetables, like spinach or mushrooms, to the sausage mixture for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Perfectly Scrambled Eggs: For soft and fluffy scrambled eggs, whisk them vigorously and remove them from the heat just before they are fully set. The residual heat will finish cooking them.
- Tortilla Warm-Up: Warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds or on a skillet for a minute. This makes them easier to roll without tearing.
- Crispy Finish: For an extra crunchy texture, pan-fry the rolled tortillas seam-side down in a little olive oil until golden brown. This step adds a delightful crispness to your breakfast roll ups.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve with a side of salsa or hot sauce for an added kick, or pair with a fresh fruit salad for a balanced meal.
