When I've got no time to lose in the morning but still want something warm and hearty, Cheesy Sausage and Egg Wraps are a total lifesaver. They’re packed full of eggs, sausage, and gooey cheese, all tucked inside a soft tortilla. They’re a cinch to whip up—perfect for quick weekdays or stashing away for easy breakfasts ahead.
The first time I threw these together was before my kid’s super early soccer match when we needed breakfast to go. Now it’s a Sunday must in our fridge for grab-and-eat mornings.
Tasty Ingredients
- Optional toppings: jazz things up with salsa, hot sauce, or sliced green onions Grab fresh salsa for a bright finish
- Shredded cheddar cheese: one cup brings all the gooey flavor Go for extra sharp or try whatever cheese you’ve got
- Flour tortillas: four big (eight-inch) tortillas hold everything together The softer the better so they don’t crack
- Breakfast sausage: half a pound ground or four links—whichever you’ve got Really flavorful sausage makes these sing
- Butter: a tablespoon for creamy eggs and to keep them from sticking Real butter is best
- Black pepper: a fourth of a teaspoon, a little kick goes a long way Fresh cracked tastes fresher
- Salt: a fourth teaspoon makes the whole thing pop Fine sea salt spreads the flavor
- Milk: two tablespoons for fluffy eggs and a nicer texture Try using whole milk if you can
- Large eggs: six for a thick, protein-rich scramble Pick eggs with bright yolks for extra flavor
Step-by-Step Directions
- Heat and Serve:
- Put each filled wrap back in the skillet or on a griddle for one to two minutes a side The outside crisps up and the cheese goes extra melty Serve up with salsa, hot sauce, or some chopped green onions right away
- Roll the Wraps:
- Fold each tortilla in from the sides then roll from the end, tucking everything in Flip seam side down so nothing spills out
- Assemble the Wraps:
- Lined up tortillas on your counter, spread a quarter of the eggs down each Add your sausage, then pile on the cheese so it melts together
- Warm the Tortillas:
- Get tortillas bendy by wrapping them in a moist towel and microwaving for a few seconds Or do a quick turn in a dry skillet until they’re soft
- Scramble the Eggs:
- Crack eggs into a bowl, pour in the milk, salt, and pepper Whisk it all up Melt butter in your warm skillet, then add the eggs Stir often until just cooked, no overdoing it then pull it off the heat
- Cook the Sausage:
- Brown the sausage in a pan on medium for about ten minutes Once it’s golden and cooked through, move it to a plate with a paper towel so the extra grease drains

The best thing is how the cheese melts and holds it all together. My kids always squabble over who gets the cheesiest one. It’s become a running joke every weekend when these hit the table.
Keep Them Fresh
Want your wraps to stay tasty for a few days? Just wrap them tightly in foil and pop in the fridge for up to three days. For even longer, wrap each up and freeze for two months max. Thaw them overnight in the fridge, then heat in the microwave or oven when you need breakfast fast.
Swappable Ingredients
Lighten things up by using turkey or chicken sausage instead. Swap in pepper jack for a spicy kick. Have leftover spinach, mushrooms, or peppers? Just chop and toss them in before rolling it up.
Fun Ways to Serve
These wraps are awesome as-is for breakfast or brunch with anything you like on top. You can also slice them in half for an easy party bite. They double perfectly for breakfast-for-dinner too.

Frequently Asked Questions
- → Is it possible to prep these wraps ahead?
Totally! Make them, wrap with foil, stash for up to three days in your fridge, and warm up when hungry.

Once cooled, cover with plastic, then foil. Freeze up to a couple months. Thaw in the fridge overnight, then reheat when you want one.
- → Which sausage should I use?
Pick any ground breakfast sausage or links you like best—they all bring great flavor here.
- → Can veggies go in these too?
Yep! Chopped peppers, a few green onions, or some spinach are perfect to toss inside for extra taste and color.
- → How do I keep them from turning soggy?
Make sure everything's cooked through and not watery. Toasting the wrap gets it crispy and keeps it together.

Cheddar’s always solid, but Monterey Jack or even pepper jack melt smooth and keep things interesting.
