Ingredients

All you need for these incredible Cheesy Sausage & Egg Wraps are a few simple kitchen staples and about 30 minutes! Yes, it’s that easy. But first, gather up these essential ingredients:

Large Flour Tortillas: These are the cozy vehicle for our amazing filling! Choose a medium to large size that’s easy to roll and can hold plenty of goodness.
Chicken Sausages, sliced: Provides a savory, meaty punch. You can use mild or spicy sausages depending on your mood!
Large Eggs: The star of the show! These get lightly scrambled to be the fluffy, protein-packed base of the wrap.
Milk: A splash helps make the scrambled eggs extra light and creamy—don’t skip this step for maximum fluffiness.
Shredded Cheddar Cheese: This is mixed right into the filling for that classic, gooey cheese pull. Choose sharp for more flavor!
Mozzarella Cheese: We sprinkle a little of this on top of the filling before rolling for an extra layer of soft, melty goodness.
Small Onion, finely chopped: Adds a foundational savory depth to the egg and sausage mixture.
Small Red Bell Pepper, diced: Brings a little sweetness, crunch, and a wonderful pop of color to the filling.
Olive Oil & Butter: Used in combination for cooking. The oil keeps the butter from burning while adding richness to the veggies and eggs.
Salt and Pepper: Essential for seasoning the eggs to perfection. Don’t be shy—seasoning is key to flavor!
Fresh Parsley, chopped: Our finishing touch! It adds a lovely fresh, herbaceous note and makes the wraps look beautiful.
Optional Hot Sauce or Ketchup: For serving. Because sometimes you just need a little heat or tang to finish it off!

How to Make the Cheesy Sausage & Egg Wraps

Step 1: Cook the Sausage and Veggies

First things first, we’re getting that savory foundation laid! Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add your sliced chicken sausages and cook them for about 4–5 minutes until they’re beautifully golden brown and slightly crispy. Scoop them out and set them aside—they’ll rejoin the party soon! In the same skillet, melt the butter, then toss in your chopped onion and red bell pepper. Sauté for just 2–3 minutes until they start to soften up.

Step 2: Scramble the Eggs

While the veggies are softening, whisk together your eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl until everything is light and foamy. Pour this mixture right into the skillet with your sautéed vegetables. Cook the eggs gently, stirring frequently, until they are softly scrambled—don’t overcook them! They should still look slightly moist. Immediately remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 3: Combine the Filling

Now for the cheesy magic! Stir the cooked sausages and the shredded cheddar cheese right into the fluffy scrambled eggs. Use the residual heat from the eggs to get that cheddar nice and melty. Stir it all together until it’s perfectly gooey and combined.

Step 4: Assemble the Wraps

Give your tortillas a quick warm-up in a dry pan or the microwave for a few seconds to make them super flexible—this prevents tearing! Spoon an even amount of the cheesy sausage and egg mixture down the center of each warmed tortilla. For an extra touch of cheesy goodness, sprinkle a little mozzarella cheese over the filling.

Step 5: Roll and Toast

Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll them up from the bottom. Place your wraps seam-side down in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast them for 1–2 minutes per side, pressing gently, until they are golden brown and perfectly crispy on the outside.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!

Slice the wraps in half (if you like!), garnish them with a little chopped fresh parsley, and serve them warm with your favorite sauces, like hot sauce or a dollop of ketchup. Dig in!

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Don’t Overcook the Eggs: The key to a great wrap filling is softly scrambled eggs. Remove them from the heat when they are just set; they’ll continue to cook slightly when you stir in the hot sausage and again when you toast the wrap.
Warm Your Tortillas: Seriously, don’t skip this! Warming the tortillas for a few seconds makes them pliable, which helps them roll up without cracking or tearing.
Toast for Texture: Toasting the wraps in the dry skillet is what takes them from good to G R E A T. That crispy exterior makes all the difference!
Use High-Quality Sausage: Since sausage is a major flavor component, using a good quality chicken (or pork!) sausage that you genuinely love will elevate the entire wrap.

How to Serve

These wraps are fantastic on their own, but they play well with others! Here are a few ways to serve them up:

The Sauce Side: Serve with a side of hot sauce (sriracha, Cholula, etc.) for a kick, classic ketchup, or a little salsa or guacamole for a fresh, Tex-Mex vibe.
Pairing Perfection: Pair these hearty wraps with a simple side like a fresh fruit salad or a small bowl of plain Greek yogurt to balance the richness.
Make it a Platter: If you’re serving a group, slice them diagonally and arrange them on a platter with small dipping bowls of different sauces for a fun, build-your-own breakfast bar!

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you happen to have any leftovers (it’s rare, but it happens!), place them in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Freezing

These wraps are awesome for meal prepping! After assembling (before toasting), wrap them individually in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. When you’re ready to eat, thaw them in the fridge overnight and then toast them as directed.

Reheating

The best way to reheat these is in a dry skillet or a toaster oven until they are warmed through and crispy on the outside again. The microwave works in a pinch, but the wrap won’t be as crispy.

FAQs

Can I substitute the chicken sausage for something else?

Absolutely! You can easily swap the chicken sausage for any cooked protein you prefer. Pre-cooked and crumbled pork breakfast sausage works wonderfully and adds more richness. Alternatively, you can use crispy bacon bits or even a plant-based breakfast crumble if you want to keep it vegetarian. The key is to make sure your substitute is cooked and seasoned before mixing it into the eggs.

How can I add more vegetables to these wraps?

It’s easy to sneak in extra veggies! Before scrambling the eggs, you can sauté other quick-cooking options with the onions and bell peppers. Finely chopped spinach, sliced mushrooms, or even a little diced jalapeño for heat would be delicious additions. Just make sure to keep the pieces small so they cook evenly and integrate well into the filling.

What is the best way to roll a tight wrap without it falling apart?

The trick to a perfectly tight wrap is to warm the tortilla first to make it pliable. After spooning the filling down the center, fold in the sides first (about an inch on each side). Then, starting from the edge closest to you, tuck the tortilla over the filling and roll it up firmly and steadily, keeping the sides tucked in. Toasting it seam-side down first will help seal it.

Can I prepare the filling ahead of time?

Yes, you can definitely prepare the filling ahead of time for ultra-quick morning assembly! Cook the sausage, scramble the eggs, and mix everything with the cheeses as instructed. Let the filling cool completely, then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. When you’re ready to eat, simply reheat the filling in a skillet or microwave, spoon it into a warmed tortilla, and proceed with the toasting step.
